I connected a desktop PC and a laptop by UTP cable. Both computers using WinXP Pro SP2 and belongs to the same workgroup. Desktop Computer name is DeskTop. Laptop Computer name is LapTop. Desktop Computer has a shared folder named TMMB. Laptop Computer has a shared folder named TMLT Desktop Computer IP is 100.100.100.1, SubnetMask là 255.255.255.0 Laptop Computer IP is 100.100.100.2, SubnetMask là 255.255.255.0 Guess Accounts on both computers are Enabled and with Empty password The problem is I can access to the shared folder TMLT from the desktop Computer but I can't access to the shared folder TMMB from the laptop computer. The notice is: "\\Desktop is not accessible.You might not have permisson to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission. Access is denied." Why??? I have tried to turn off the firewall on the desktop computer but can't solve the problem Could any one help me !!! Thanks a lot.

I have networked two computers, a desktop, and a laptop. Both using Win XP. Desktop works fine. Desktop Network Places shows all shared folders and printers on both computers....textbook! Laptop Network Places only shows shared items that are on that laptop, and none that are shared on the desktop. Clicking the network icon for the Desktop Network icon, reveals that ole nasty message, that ends with acces denied. I can map a network drive on the laptop, to a "Shared" folder that I created on the desktop, and every folder that I shared, and copied into the "Shared" folder, can be accessed with no problem. So I can share files, and printers using a Mapped Network Drive. So you might wonder what my problem is.......well, I don't have a problem sharing between the Desktop and the Laptop, however, I have been working for 4 weeks trying to get the Home Network to function exactly like it should, without having to generate a Mapped Network Drive . Firewalls, Zone Alarm, Norton, and Counterspy are on and functioning on the Desktop. Turning them all off, or on, don't make one bit of difference when it comes to sharing files and folders. Same on the laptop. However in attempting to resolve the problem, I have turned them all off, and on 50 times, and it doesn't seem to make any difference, either way.Same on the laptop. I can connect to either of the computers in the Computer Management program(right click) on the Computer Management window, and select "connect to the other computer" on both the desktop and the laptop. I can ping both computers, in both directions. Apparently, Windows XP Pro, can overcome this problem. Or at least that what I have been able to discern from four days of reading information on the web, but nobody has seem to come up with a solution for Windows XP home. I have read and tried out all the suggestions about firewalls, open ports, TCP/IP suggestions, Zone Alarm, Norton, registry changes,theMMCConsole,and fifty other ideas, and believe me, they don't work. I have read at least sixty other forum entries about folks that have the identical problem, but nobody, that knows anything about the problem, has come up with any suggestion that resolves the situation. I'm sure that is because they haven't really resolved the problem themselves, just make suggestions about how they think that the problem "might" be resolved. If anybody has faced this problem and had it resolved, I would really appreciate a reply on how they did it. After four weeks of about six hours a day on working on this one, I could really use some help. Suggestions are nice, but I am really looking for a solution that works, without a doubt.

I downloaded a demo of Network Magic, and all my Home Networking problems went away. I'm beginning to think that all the problems that us Home Networking folks have been having, is in using the Home Networking setup program that comes packaged with Windows XP. I guess it works for some, but for others, it's problems. Happy Networking! :)
