[Using Windows XP Pro on all computers] I am unable to view one of the computers on my home network. The computer appears when I click on View Work Group, but when I click on that computer, I get a window that says “xxx not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource” How do I correct this. (It was working perfectly until I setup a new home network on all my computers (3).) I can see and access the other computers on my work group including my desktop.

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

Discovered one computer was not in the Trusted Zone. Changed setting in ZoneAlarm and all is now well.
