First, determine whether simple file sharing is enabled or disabled on
the PC:
1. Open My Computer.
2. Click Tools | Folder Options | View.
3. Scroll to the end of the list of advanced settings.
If there's a check mark next to "Use simple file sharing", simple file
sharing is enabled. If there's no check mark, simple file sharing is
disabled.
If simple file sharing is enabled, type this command in the Start |
Run box to enable network access by the other computer:
net user guest /active:yes
If simple file sharing is disabled, create matching user accounts,
with the same user name and non-blank password, on both computers.
