I have two computers, a laptop and a tower PC. They are both connected to the same Netgear switch, which in turn is connected to the broadband modem.

Both computers have Internet access, no problem.

The problem is that I can't share files between the two computers.

I've tried hooking up my laptop to the WORKGROUP workgroup but it keeps telling me that "Workgroup is not accessible, might not have permission..." etc etc

I've successfully hooked up the tower PC to the WORKGROUP workgroup, and it looks cool there. I can see the other computers on it, including my laptop (bizarrely), but am unable to access it to view shared files etc.

Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? I've done this before and it all worked great, but I'm not an expert so I'm struggling to figure out what the problem could be here.

Thank you!
