You are logging on as a 'guest' and are not included in the 'everyone' group of the machine you want to access. Create the same ID/pass for an account on both machines and use it to access the files.

I set up both machines the same way. Why can i not ping the laptop from itself and see a result when i can from the desktop?

How do i set up a account for the desktops ID/pass on the laptop?

I have a HP Z8000 AMD notebook i am trying to network to another machine
to download some data from a old machine. Try as i might, i cannot get
the HP to set-up networking and talk to the other machine. It has XP
media center and onboard net port . I can go the explorer and set up
folders to share. It lets me do that. I can see the shared folders in
explorer. I can go to network connection and to network set-up wizard
and it runs. I set up a network using Mshome on both machines. The
Wizzard runs and all seems well.
I then go back to the explorer and click my network places, entire
network, microsoft windows networking. For a while, it would not
show the home machines shared documents listed. I changed a lot
of settings and disabled the firewall. Now, i can see the shared folders
although i am not quite sure which setting made that happen.
Before, it said i did not have permission or such for the shared
resource and gto contact the administrator.

all along i could not talk to the other machine going through
a linksys router. The HP using ipconfig says its ip is 192.168.1.102
I ping that on the HP and it request times out. Ping from the other
machine and its the same. It has a IP but i cannot seem to talk to it
If i ping 192.168.1.1 from the HP (to the router?) i get a reply.
So i assume the HP's ethernet port is ok

The other machines ip is 192.168.1.2. I can ping it locally and i get a
response.

Basically, i am trying to make a desktop talk to the laptop to transfer
files. Hardwired to two ports of a wireless router. What am i doing
wrong? The laptop seems to have some issue blocking the operating system
from talking to its ethernet port.
