Can't view workgroup

I'm running Win XP MCE and using a Netgear wireless LAN. When I try to view
the workgroup, I get the following error:
<workgroupname> is not accessible. You might not have permission to view
this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out
if you have access permissions.
Windows firewall is OFF, I have no third party personal firewall except the
firewall that is in my router.


Please help.

Does your router come with software that allows you to examine the security
key (WEP or WPA)?

If so make sure it matches the setting in your workstation.

WEP is fine. I think that if the key was wrong, it wouldn't let me see the AP
or Internet, which I can. I seem to feel that it's more specific of Win XP
MCE (just a guess). More ideas please. Thanks.

How about NIS settings (see my post just above this one)?

If Norton Internet Security is installed, do the Personal Firewall settings
for Trusted Zones match the Workgroup you cannot see?
