"Computer 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.
Access is denied"

This is the error I get on my two other computers when I try to access my main one on my home network. All are running XP. This one though, had IIS installed and I was running some of my web site from it. But this didn't start when I started using it as so. It was a while after. I think something got changed somewhere along the lines. I've checked firewal settings and user settings against the other two and everything seems to be the same. I think I'm missing something somewhere. I am also able to browse the other computers from the "un-bowseable" one.
Any suggestions?
Oh, and they are on a wireless 4 port router sharing one internet connection.

If you are talking about windows firewall, I have turned it on and off. No change. But I do not normally run a firewall. I let the router do its thing.

i dont think this is a firewall issue -more of a sharing permission problem.

on your main PC right click your HDD and click Properties ->Sharing tab. screw around in there
