Configuration: 
1 Desktop XP SP2 Home - wired to the router
1 Laptop XP SP2 home - wireless
1 Linksys WRT54GX
Firewall- ZoneAlarm

I have run the Network Setup wizard on both, same workgroup.
I can ping to each from the other.
Both can access the internet.
I have trusted level in Zone alarm to "Off" and have set up in Zone alarm
with trusted IP's in the range of each of the computers.  
MS fire wall is turned off.
NetBios is set to the Default.

When I run the Explore, My network Places I get the following error:  
Workgroup (my name) is not assessable you might not have permission to use
this network resource.....

Network Path not found.

When I run "My network places" and ask to show Work Group computers, I get
the same error.  Not even my computer shows up.

I have read numerous forums on this problem, tracking down each suggestion
and I am not resolving my problem..... I am very frustrated.

Any suggestions?

Try shutting down your Zone Alarm.  Does the problem still exist?

yes, I have tried taking down ZA.  Also, restarted system , setting ZA so it
does not start at re-boot.
