When i tried to access another computer i have error saying that i dont have
full access to the computer and i should contact the administrator for futher
assistance. Can someone please tell me how to gain access to other computer.

This is most commonly caused by a misconfigured firewall. If you are
using XP SP2 and only the Windows Firewall, check File & Printer
Sharing on the Exceptions tab. If you are using a third-party firewall,
make sure that you allow the lan as trusted and that you are not also
running the Windows Firewall.

Here is a network troubleshooter by MVP Hans-Georg Michna which will
help you pinpoint the problem areas:

And here are a few other general links (since we don't know what
operating systems you are running):
