This has moved things along.
The guest account is no longer blocked at the front door, we're getting past
that.

Now, we are falling foul of either share permissions or NTFS permissions.

At his point, it may be worth re-running the network setup wizard.

Try un-sharing any shares you have created;
Run the Network Setup Wizard once again;
Re-share a folder as a test ( create a test folder if you like ),
and choose a simple share name.

Then try to connect from the other machine.
But not by browsing to \\elmo.
In the first instance, try to connect by mapping a network drive.
On the other machine, use windows explorer.
Tools \ Map network drive.
In the Folder box, enter \\elmo\sharename

Now what happens?
Do you get a prompt to supply any password?
What exactly does it say?
