>Ok, I have windows xp professional on my lap-top and xp home on my other two computers. I have a home network set up. The networks works and the files on my computers with xp home are shared just fine. But when I try to access a shared folder from the laptop with xp pro, It says "\\Laptop\***** is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource...." But I cannot figure out how to give my other computers permission??????? I go to the folder, right click and go to "Sharing and security..." but within that I cannot figure it out. XP Home was much easier to make a file shared on the network. Anyone with any ideas? Thanks
On the XP Pro laptop, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel -
Folder Options - View - Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled. With XP Pro
and XP Home mixed, you need to enable SFS.
If SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy (Control Panel -
Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves".
If you set the Local Security Policy to "Guest only", make sure that the Guest
account is enabled, and has an identical, non-blank, password on all computers.
If "Classic", setup and use a common account with identical, non-blank, password
on all computers.
Do any of the computers have a software firewall (ICF or third party)? If so,
you need to configure them for file sharing, by opening ports TCP 139, 445 and
UDP 137, 138, 445, and / or by identifying the other computers as present in the
Local (Trusted) zone. Firewall configurations are a very common cause of
(network) browser, and file sharing, problems.
