Re: Access is denied

Do the PC's have XP Pro or XP Home installed? There are limitations for file
sharing with XP Home. See the following article:

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/broadbandnetworking/10_concept_file_share_setup.mspx

Limitations to file sharing
While you can share most files on your computer, there are a couple of
limitations:
a.. You cannot share your copy of most software programs, such as
Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel. You can share files created by the
program, but the program itself needs to be installed on each computer in
your workgroup.
b.. You cannot share certain protected folders on your computer. These
include the Documents and Settings folder, the Windows System or System 32
folder, and the Program Files folder. You also can't share files from other
users? profiles.

I have just networked 2 PCs using my wireless router. One of the PCs can
access on shared files and folders on both PCs but the other one cant access
the Shared files or folders on the other PC.

I get a message when trying to access the other PC that states Access is
denied, please check you have permissions. I have tried evreything. All
drives are shard and File and Print sharing is enable. I have also turned
off the SP2 firewall on both PCs.

Any help would be great as I'be been trying to do this for days. Thanks
