I have a desktop and laptop computer in my workgroup. Both computers can see
each other when I look at Microsoft Windows Networks. Both computers are
running Windows XP Home, one has an ethernet connections to the router and
the other a wireless connection. The problem I have is when I try to access
the other computer over the network I get the following error:

\\Master is not accessable.You might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have
acccess permissions.

Access denied.

I can see the other computers in the network neighbourhood window, but when
I click on the icon for that computer I get the access nenied error.  I know
there must be some security settings not set right, but I can not figure out
what it is.  I can not find anywhere in the Microsoft help that addresses
this problem.
Any suggestions??
