I have just set up windows XP on this computer and am
having problems setting up a home network. I made a
network disk that i put in all the computers on the
network. Those computers can access the network fine,
share resources and internet.

Although on this computer when i try to access our
network, when i click "view entire workgroup" it says i
do not have permission. Now i know that is not the case
since there are not limitations on our network.

They said something about a virus protection program
(they= microsoft) but i have norton and thats not the one
they were talking about. Any help would be great.
 
Hi Snipper,

You need to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP and start the Computer Browser
Service:

To enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP on Windows XP and Windows 2000:

Open the Network Connections folder.
Right click the local area network connection and click Properties.
Double click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Click Advanced.
Click WINS.
Click the Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP button.

To enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP on Windows 95/98/Me:

Click Start | Settings | Control Panel | Network.
Double click the TCP/IP->adapter entry for the local area network.
Click NetBIOS.
The I want to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP box is normally checked and grayed
out. If it's un-checked, click the box to put in a check mark.


===Start the Computer Browser Service===

1. Click Start | Run | Services.msc
2. Locate the Computer Browser service and set it to Automatic, START it
