I've got one machine running 2000 and one running XP and
they are on a Linksys router/DSL modem network. They are
on the same workgroup, and they XP machine sees the 2000
machine, but won't let me access it (get an error
message). The 2000 machine doesn't recognize the XP
machine at all. I've made sure the same users are on
each machine, sharing is enabled, the firewall on the XP
machine is down. I don't know what else to try? I just
want to be able to share files between the 2 machines.

Thanks
