Hi,

My ntwk setup is 2 wireless computers accessing the Internet fine through a belkin router. One unit has XP pro another W2000. The XP unit can see the W2000 unit but whne trying to access it in the workgroup gets "it is not accessible please contact your network administrator" I have granted user rights to the XP unit in my W2000 computer. Also, when checking the workgroup in the W2000 unit it only sees itself. In my Xp unit I have a shared folder and also I tried sharing the hdd to no avail.

Any suggestions? I created the network using the XP wizard.

Thanks.
 
Sorry, the firewall in each unit was blocking me. Thanks
 
lol dang firewalls can be annoying sometimes!
