Is the firewall disabled on the PC ?
If so, then setup a username/password on both systems
that is the same and turn off the simple file sharing.

I am trying to network a Desktop running XP Pro and a Notebook also running
XP Pro. This to enable me to use each other's programs/files and my printer.
Both can connect to the my ASDL connection via wireless Router. I have tried
setting up using Network Setup, both are set to the same Workgroup, but I
cannot get them to connect to each other. On the Desktop I can see HOME but
when I try the Notebook I come up with BRINET is not accessible. You might
not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the Administrator
of this server to find out if you have access permissions. A list of servers
for this workgoup is not currently available.

I am the administrator on both computers, I have Norton installed on both.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

There are a couple of ways to do this:
1. Turn on the "Simple File Sharing". Go to Control Pane, chose Tools -->
Folder options --> View.
But then you need to put the files that you are going to share under
all users --> shared document.
If you use simple file sharing, then you don't need to match the
username and password on your two machines.

2. Turn off "Simple File Sharing", make sure you have the same username
and password on both machines.
You can also turn off the firewall to make sure that it is not blocking
your file share.
