When i go into the workgroup and click on my laptops name it says \\laptop is not accessible

No permission to access resource.

Just to see i also pluged a Me machine in and the same thing happens. So I can see all computers just the Xp Pro desktop (and Me) does not have access to my Xp home laptop.

Pinging the laptop does work so the network is working.

Thanks For any help

Brian,
You didin't mention it but do you have any Norton Internet Security running? I have been having similar problems and am losing my link from my laptop to my print server when all else is fine. I found that if I disabled NIS I could find the server. I am still working on the other problems when I have time. (and someone is not using the other computers.)
