Lost my Network

I have an ADSL router feeding (by cable) 2 x WinXP Pro SP2 machines. I have
Norton Antivirus on one of the machines - that machine has the Noron
firewall and the other machine has the Windows firewall.

Both machines see the internet perfectly. At one time, they were perfectly
networked, but now when I go to 'My Network Places' I get the following:

- on one machine, I see the other machine in 'See Workgroup Computers', but
when I double-click, I'm told I don't have permission to access.

- on the other machine, when I click 'See Workgroup Computers', I'm
immediately told that I don't have permission to see the Workgroup.

I've run the Network Setup Wizard on both machines.

Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steven Lyall

I had a similar problem and I found it was the setting on my Zonealarm Anti
virus .
I had to add the IP for each PC in the Trusted zones.
I guess that Norton will have a similar trusted zone.
Incidentally I got rid of Norton Anti virus and now run Zone Alarm and AVG
for protection
