Hello

I have 1 laptop (ACER) and 1 desktop (JC) which are in the same group
(BUGG) with user "Jean-Charles" as administrator on both machines.

Pings are OK, every computer can "see" the other in the workgroup
computers but the problems are after that.

JC can enter ACER but not browse the "system" folders (windows, progam
files....) then I get the "no rights" message.

ACER cannot even enter JC

I had this problem the last time with another computer in my network and
it was solved by adding the user accounts on both machines, but since this
time I'm using the same user account "Jean-Charles" on both machines and
this user is OF COURSE administrator I don't understand what is wrong

Thanks for the help
