HELP-you might not have permission to use this network resource?

Question

So yesterday i connected my dell pcs in a network, both using windows XP. i tryed pinging them through the command box and that didnt work. i tryed to send my files from the other pc to this one and it seemed like it worked but when i tried to open them in My Network Places it told me that i might not have permission to use this network resource. I have searched the internet with the phrase from the popup message and none of it has helped. i took down the firewall amd tried again with no luck. I right clicked on the file i wanted to share and went to sharing and security and checked the CORRECT box and it still isnt working. please helpppp there are too many millions of bytes to transfer to use a floppy disk or even a flash drive. thanks!

It almost sounds like you are using a Virtual Private Network, these of course used in a corperate inviorment.
If that is the case System Administrators disable some functions, so that only approved users have the capability to use these functions.
Many require you to have a special CSID to there Intranet before you can use all functions.
