I set everything up for the network. I followed HomeNetHelp step-by-step info. The step for "configuring NetBIOS in 98se w/ Internet sharing enabled" was not available on the site, so I had to go by the XP version for my older computer. Both comps are enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP. Both have same workgroup name.

When I go to view workgroup computers in XP, I get error msg:
"(Workgroup) is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact administrator to find out if you have permissions. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."

One reboot the 98se found the name of the XP computer, but it gave me a "no access' msg or something like that. Mostly it couldnt see the XP machine at all.

Any idea what I could be missing?
Thx.
