I have 2 XP pc's, I tried connecting through the parallel port and it was successful, 
connected at 4Mb.. However, I so far am unable to see any files on either pc from 
the other, I've tried both host/guest w\ either pc, no difference, I've made folders 
and drives shared but in my network places on the guest (older pc) under Entire Network 
it showed Microsoft Windows Network and w\ in that it has MsHome, click it and after 
several seconds of waiting it said I did not have permission to access .... 

It also said this on the host pc, but as far as I can tell neither pc has any special 
requirements to access one or the other.. The connection is made, folders are shareable, 
both pc's belong to the same workgroup Mshome so ..

The other odd thing is, the host pc (newer), under my network places, shows all of 
my shared folders and drives w\ its "computer name" beside them, as if when the connection 
between the 2 machines is made, the host pc now has access to its own shared folders/drives 
in my network places, instead of those of the other machine, this is confusing... 





On the guest pc theres nothing but a few listed "networks" in my network places such 
as  "microsoft windows network" for which in it is "Mshome" but nothing beyond that, 
just the access permission issue ...

Could someone offer a speedy suggestion on what I may   need to do to rectify this, 
Thank You.
