Two computers with XP home. Creating a small workgroup,
to share printer, will not let me view or access the
computers on my workgroup stating should se administrator
for permission. What is not set wright here? The internet
through the gateway is working just fine, both computers
access the Internet, one with wireless lan adapter and
other direct connect to the gateway.

I can't help you yet but I have exactly the same problem. I have a desktop pc connected to a router with a cable and a laptop running a wireless card. I can surf but cannot file share and I get that error you mentioned too

I will keep in touch in case I find anything
 
You must use the same domain name on each PC and each PC must have the same account name for the Administrator account. I think XP sucks with peer to peer. Win 95 was better!
