is a bit tedious and would
like to only offer a couple
of suggestions:
firstly, turn off your firewalls
secondly, be sure to "map"
the drives.
sometimes you have to unmap
them then remap them and
reboot as well.
however, if the above doesn't
provide that extra help to network
your machines, then try a third party
program.
a third party program can override
the settings and overcome the
hurdles of trying to figure out what
you skipped over.
A program called "simpledesktop"
is pretty easy and i didn't find any
difficulties with it.
if simple desktop can connect
your two machines, then you will
know that there was a configuration
error on your part. if simple desktop
cannot connect your machines, then
it is likely a major issue causing the
hurdle.

I am running two systems, both with Windows XP Home Edition installed. They
are connected through the same router.
How do I get one system to talk to the other? I have run the network setup
Wizard on both systems. I have disabled sharing over the network. I have
configured folders in both systems to be shared.
FYI: When I click the "My Network Places>Entire Network>Microsoft Windows
Network>Mshome" folder on one machine it contains a directory labled with
the name of that machine. I open this directory and it contains the names
of all the shared directories on the machine. On the other machine clicking
the same directory yields an error message that says:
"Mshome is not available. You might not have permission to use this
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have
access permissions. The list of Workgroups for this server is not currently
available."
Can anyone help?
