Router Configuaration

[Rathbern66]

I just installed a router to share two PC's operating WinXP. I can connect to the internet from both, but I am unable to share files. I have a GigaFast Ethernet Roter that is LAN capable. One of the PC's (call it "A&quot can connect to the workgroup, and view the files that it is sharing. It also lists the other PC ("B&quot in the network places, but when attempting to connect, I cannot access the that PC ("B&quot. "I get a message that it is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource...."

On PC "B" the workgroup is listed, but cannot be accessed. I get the same message "....is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource...."

Xp has its own firewall make sure its off . Do you have an added firewall, make sure your trusted.
