The firewall is off in pc1 and pc2. i use PC2 in workgroup2 and enter for workgroup1 but i can't access the PC1 i had this MSG "PC1 not accessible.youmight not have permission to use this network resource.Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.The network path was not found." but i can enter to PC1 in the workgroup1 and use the PC2 which is in different workgroup and different network. (am in workgroup1 and i can access the pc in workgroup2, but person in workgroup2 cant access or enter to my pc he get the msg of not have permission and network path was not found.) i checked the firewall is turned off. any steps should i follow to solve this problem. am waitting 4 reply.

hello is that the xp fire wall thats off? or an aftermarket one like zap? try shutting them all off on both machines. your net work should conect no problem. if so you must set fire wall permissions. allso you might need to right click on the net work icon in task bar and goto properties and set permissions.
