Re: Access denied to laptop from main PC?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

When you ran the command

net use Q: \\Laptop\test

on your desktop PC you mapped drive Q: to the "test"
share on the laptop. Using Explorer, My Computer or a
Command Prompt on the desktop PC, can you acccess
files and folders on drive Q:? Is your original problem solved?

Sorry about the typographica error - glad you worked it out
for yourself.

The information you posted tells me a whole lot, e.g.
- which account you used to log on at each machine;
- that it is the same account in each case;
- your computer names;
- the account names defined on your laptop;

Unfortunately it does not give me the answer to your problem.
Some more diagnostics! Please do this from a Command Prompt
on your laptop while logged on as "Kenny Cargill":
net user "Kenny Cargill" December {Enter}
net share test="%UserProfile%\Desktop {Enter}
echo %ComputerName% > c:\test.txt
net share >> c:\test.txt
net use Q: \\%ComputerName%\test >> c:\test.txt
net use >> c:\test.txt
notepad c:\test.txt

And on your desktop I would like you to run these commands
from a Command Prompt while logged on as "Kenny Cargill":
net user "Kenny Cargill" December {Enter}
echo %ComputerName% > c:\test.txt
net use Q: \\Laptop\test >> c:\test.txt
net use >> c:\test.txt
notepad c:\test.txt

Please note that your password is now set to "December"
on each machine!

Post the contents of both files.

Doesn't mean a lot to me! Maybe connected is the fact that when it was
working OK I was able to print from laptop when main PC was on, now I
can't.
Printer hard wired to main PC but when I get this sorted will be trying
to
add a print server.

You need to supply some diagnostics.

Do this on the laptop:
- Click Start / Run / cmd > OK
- Type these commands:
set > c:\%ComputerName%.txt {Enter}
notepat c:\%Computername%.txt {Enter}
- Paste the text into your reply.

Do this on your laptop:
- Click Start / Run / cmd > OK
- Type these commands:
cd /d "%UserProfile%" {Enter}
set > c:\%ComputerName%.txt {Enter}
net user >> c:\%ComputerName%.txt {Enter}
cacls desktop >> c:\%ComputerName%.txt {Enter}
notepat c:\%Computername%.txt {Enter}
- Paste the text into your reply.

Main PC using XP Pro/SP2, laptop using XP Media Centre.
Connected via 3Com wireless modem/router.
System was working OK but because of unfixable problems had to
re-install
XP
on main PC.
Now I can "see" main pc from laptop and move files one way.
I can't however "see" laptop from main PC, get message:

MS Home
\\Laptop is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this
network resource. Contact the admin to find out...etc.
Access denied.

I have full admin rights on both PC's.
Have checked that the C drive on laptop is set to "share this folder
on
the
network", also "allow network users to change files".
Any suggestions appreciated.
