I've a home network with 2 pc's a one XP Pro other XP
home. Connected through a Vigor2600 Switch / Router. The
problem I have is with the XP home (on a Sony PCG-GRX670)
when trying to get access to the home work group it
says "I don't have access speak to the Administrator"
(that me) or the list is not available. I can get to the
internet though the Sony but I can't connect to the other
PC on the network... I've tried running Networking wizard
etc but still not working.. Any advice would be welcome...

How to setup home or peer-to-peer network

If all of the computers in a peer-to-peer workgroup don't have a common
networking protocol, a common workgroup, and common user names and
passwords, the computers may experience a difficulty to communicate with
other computers that are running Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 95, or
Microsoft Windows 98. To resolve this issue, configure the computers by
ensuring that they have a common networking protocol (TCP/IP), a common
workgroup, and common user names and passwords. Also make sure enable File
and Printer Sharing is installed.
