Help please.
Many posts on this problem all over the net - no solution.
I have two computers connected via crossover cable: desktop and laptop.
Desktop is 192.168.0.1; laptop is 192.168.0.2
Desktop is connected to internet via broadband.
On desktop - I can access everything on laptop: shared files, printers, ping
without a prob.
On laptop - I can access internet through desktop (no ICS issue), but cannot
access printers or shared files on desktop. When I go to 'view workgroup
computers' while i'm on the laptop, i can see both computers. If i double
click on the desktop computer, it say '..you may not have
permission....ACCESS IS DENIED"
Both computers are XP Pro SP1
Now - let's cover a few things that other people suggested, but didn't work:
1. Turn on guest account on desktop - did not resolve the problem.
2. Turn off firewall - did not resolve the problem.
3. Disable simple file sharing - did not resolve the problem.

Any other suggestions?
