I found typing "command" at the Run window line allows me to see the return
of commands I run

When I run a command like ipconfig /all at the command prompt, the info.
flashes up and quickly disappears. How do I get the window to stay open till
I close it so I can read the info?
NetBIOS over TCP/IP is disabled on both PCs (I had enabled it on both)
The Windows firewall is off on boths PCs (using router firewall)
I only have an anti-virus program now
TCP/UDP port 445 open on router (had to open for incoming traffic). One of
your links stated both TCP & UDP. The other said just TCP. Which is correct
please?
Both PCs can now view the workgroup without the error I had before, but
neither computer can see itself or the other PC

Error message rec'd (when requesting to view workgroup PCs): Workgroup is not

Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access
permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available.
Technical info: Wired peer-to-peer network consisting of 2 PCs running XP
Pro SP2 through router (with firewall). Network had been working quite awhile
ago with file and printer sharing. I feel it might have stopped working after
a Windows update. I was using Norton SystemWorks. That program is now
uninstalled. IRPStackSize is set to 15 on both PCs. I can ping using IP
address or computer name back and forth and on each PC. I was trying to fix
my workgroup problem, but I did finally try the wizard with no luck and it
keeps turning on the Windows firewall (I want to use router firewall only) if
I want to file and printer share. That still did not solve my problem of the
error message above. Internet access works fine. I have folders shared on
both PCs. I never found I had to have identical Windows users set up on both
machines when it worked before. What else did I forget to mention?
Thank you in advance for all your help. I am ready to pull my hair out over
this one.

Charlotte,
This is typically a NetBT or SMB problem with personal firewalls.

If a Norton product is involved, a personal firewall problem looks good.

Also look at LSP / Winsock corruption.
