i am currently trying to connect 2 computers (one WINXP Home with SP2 and the
other WINXP Pro with SP1) through a D-link router. I am able to ping all
computers and router. i this message on both Home and Pro before i
configured my XP Pro computer, "\\computername is not accessible. You
might not have permission to use this network resource. contact the
administrator of the ser ver to find out if you have access permission.
Access is denied."

Now i have this message on my Pro computer when i access the XP Home
computer. When i access my Pro computer from the Home one i get he same
message execpt instead of saying access is denied, it says login failure: the
user has not been granted the request logon at this computer.

i have tried many things that i have read on the news groups and nothing has
changed until i turned off the Simple file sharing on the XP computer. this
is when the message changed.
please help me. any advice that is new would greatly appricated
.
