Hi, I have been trying for about 2 weeks now to get my home network working.

I had it working at one point never could get ICS to work and see the
internet.

But at one point I lost connection from the PC that I have been storing
files on, my main system the one that is connected to the internet failed to
find the other computer on the workgroup then it would see it but I would
bet a message saying that I did not have permissions to use this service
from this station.

I am about to give up on this. Is there any settings I need to check to
make sure that one the 2 computers on my network (Workgroup) can see each
other besides being on the same IP subnet and in the same work group.

Thank you for any help.
