I have three computers, one with xp pro, another has win 2000 and the third
is a MacMini wireless. I connect these computers via an Apple Base Station
Extreame. Here is my problem. I can see all three computers from the Windows
2000 machine but I can not see any other machine from the xp pro system. I
get a message : "Workgroup is not accessable. You might not have permission
to use this network resource. Contact the administrator for this server to
find out if you have access permission ... ." Well, I am the user and also
the Administrator. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I have followed all
the necessary steps to set up a workgroup for home network.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I have no idea of your abilities, but since you did not say, have you setup
file and print sharing on all PC's? With what rights? How do you login? Did
you create a signon on each PC? Do you have firewalls running on all of the
PC's? Do they trust each other.

The more info you give the better people can help.
