I need some help as to what to check next.  I've reached the limits of my
knowledge.

Simple network - 2 computers running XP home and a router
Browstat showed error 53.
Laptop was away for keyboard repair, came back with proxy settings that
fouled up IE and IM, so no surprise that I can't get  access to the workgroup.

Other network changes while laptop was away included new router, and new
Norton antivirus in second computer.

restrictanonymous = 0 on both
disabling Zonealarm on both doesn't help
the computers can ping each other by number

I wish I could delete this post now as I don't want to waste anyone's time.

I discovered that in the course of trying to debug the problem about why the
new router prevents printing, the steps involved changing network connections
on the second computer.  Restarting both computers fixed the problem.  I'm
afraid I had only tried restarting the one with the problem.

Sorry to anyone who took the time to read the above details.

Actually, and here's hoping that you read here, we appreciate your pointing out
the relevance of the details.  Any time a problem is resolved, it's good to hear
about the resolution.

I found that in the course of going through the debugging steps of why the
printer no longer works with the new router, printer tech support had me
change some physical network connections on the second computer without
restarting.  Restarting both computers fixed the problem with the first
computer.  I had only be restarting the first computer.

I'm sorry if anyone waded through all the details above.

this forum so i apologise if i posted this were it aint supposed to be.

My question: i set up a small LAN with 2 desktop comps conected thru a
linksys wireless g router. i can access my shared documents fine from both
comps but what i want is to be able to give full permission to the
workstation comp. on the workstation i cant install programs.

i need to know how to give full access to the other computer and(or) how to
make workstation access programs on main computer since its not allowed to
install them eg iTunes.

Most programs have to be installed on a computer in order to run on
that computer.  The installation process creates support files and
configuration information that are needed for program execution.  If
you try to run a program that's installed on another computer, those
things won't be found.

One possible solution is to use a remote control program, like
RealVNC, to operate the main computer from the workstation:

However, I doubt that iTunes will work well remotely.

I think i was Misunderstood. what i want to do is be able to do regular stuff
on my workstation eg itunes without being told i don't have permission. i
need to know how to grant permission to the workstation. i tried installing
itunes on the workstation but it said i dont have permission i also tried
retrieving a ms word document and edit but it said it is write protected. 
real vnc says it allows me to control another computer but i dont want to
control the main one from the workstation i just want to remove those
restrictions of write protected and not being to install programs on work
station
