I am trying to connect 2 computers together at my office to share files like
QuickBooks.

The computers are connected together with cat 5 crossover going into a
linksys befw11s4 v4 router

They BOTH have Internet (cable modem) but cannot see each other
Computer1 can see computer2
Computer 2 cannot see computer 1

I did try to use the network setup wizard and named the work group Office
and turned on file and print sharing

On computer 1 I click on computer 2 and a message pops up saying

Office is not assessable you might not have permission to use this network
Network path was not found

I have been on this for 3 day and can figure it out

Thanks for any help

security component. There are several other possibilities too, and any might be
the cause of your problem. Read this article with an open mind.

Maybe you could look at "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server",
and "net config workstation", from each computer, and diagnose the problem.
Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely
(download browstat!):
