Home Networking

When I set up my Home Network I receive this message. "Home is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the Administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions."  I am a user with administrative priviledges.  Thank you.

    Roadmanaz63,

    Most likely access is being blocked by a software firewall.  If you are running the Windows XP SP2 firewall, make sure it is configured with File and Printer Sharing as an exception.  If you are running Norton Internet Security or McAfee Security Center, they both have a "Trusted Zone" which needs to be configured with the IP address range being assigned by your router.  Other software firewalls have a similar capability.  And you should be running only one software firewall.

    Check your settings for either Mcafee or Norotn security products.  Your problem is most likely there as Paladin said.
