Network Path Not Found

I have two Dell's hooked up with a cross-over cable. Both
are running XP Pro. I ran the Network Setup Wizard on
both. The "secondary" machine-- not connected to the
internet directly-- can see the "primary" machine and
read its files, connect to the internet through it etc.
The problem is that the primary machine sees the
secondary machine on "view workgroup computers" but when
I double click on it, I get the message that access is
denied, the network path not found.

I have done a search on this newsgroup and found similar
problems, but no solutions posted.

I'm new to this group and would appreciate any help
offered.

TIA.

I think that I've solved my problem. The new Dell
(secondary) came with McAfee Security Center which
included a firewall. I tried turning off the firewall and
then had no problem connecting. Then turned the firewall
back on, and still could connect.

Don't understand what is going on here, but it works so
I'll stop asking questions for awhile.
