Hello all, I have a question about networking. I set-up a home network, and
I can't access some of the computers. I have 4 computers hooked up to this
network. 1 computer I can not see one computer. I keep getting a permissions
error, contact your administrator for access. I am the administrator. What
permissions do I need to set?? Please help me. I had this network working
before I upgraded to XP Professional Sp2.

Jamie,

If this problem started when you put in SP2, then you have a problem with
Windows Firewall. Do you have another personal firewall, or an antivirus
product?

If you can't find a personal firewall problem, let's look at "browstat status"
and "ipconfig /all", from each computer, and diagnose the problem. Read this
article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download
browstat!):
