Re: Networking Win2000Pro to XP-Home w/Router

Tom-

Thanks again for replying.

Re: Problem #1 < Inability to Access Shared Doc File on WinXP-Home Desktop
from Laptop (Win2000Pro): I did what the "1st link" you provided (below)
said, but found that my "guest account" was already "enabled".

So, I went to the "2nd link" (below) you provided and completed both
Method's #1 and #2 on my desktop computer that is running WinXP-Home. I
did not change anything on the laptop which runs WinXP Pro, assuming I did
not need to. Also, I re-booted both the laptop and the desktop
mputers. - - - - Well, I still get the exact same error message:
\\desktop\shareddocs is not accessible - access denied

Is there anything else that I should do that would enable the laptop to
access the desktop "shareddocs folder"? Thanks in advance for any help you
can provide.

Btw, please see my other post in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general re:
my problem #2; I have provided more details on how the problem arose.
Thanks.

Dave
