I need help repairing my XP Pro Home network. Short story
is it was working beautifully having previously used the
Network setup wizard. For reasons that are unknown, it
stopped working a few weeks ago, meaning I could 'see'
the other computers in the network, but access was denied
even though I was using the same user name and password.

As a work-around, I used the Network setup wizard again
and setup a new workgroup (ie, HOME as one, and MSHOME as
two). As the setup would not allow me to overwrite the
first workgroup name (ie HOME).

Neither works. In each case, I'm asked to sign in to the
remote computer on the network with user name and
password. As admin of all computers on the network, I use
the user name and password for that computer and it
denies me access.

In short, how do I delete both the work groups and start
again. This is worth a try as I have found no other way.

Any help or references are sincerely appreciated.

Will
