I just set up a workgroup network in my home, and I selected some files to share. When I go in from the other computer to access those files, it say I do not have permission to access those files, and to check with administrator. But I specifically set it up myself to do so.....any ideas??

If you've properly turned on File and Printer Sharing, then it's probably your firewall blocking access. Check to see if you have Windows Firewall turned on (Start > Run > and type "firewall.cpl" minus the quotes). If it is turned on, click the Exceptions tab and make sure File and Printer Sharing has a checkmark in front of it.
If you're using some other firewall (Norton, McAfee...) make sure your local network is trusted. Otherwise you'll see this type of error message.
If you have Norton or McAfee (or another) firewall running, make sure the Windows firewall is turned off.
