Just recently set up a simple 2-computer network at home. Everything
appears to function correctly except the server cannot access
files/drives on the host. XP Pro on both computers, no firewalls.
From the host everything set up to share on the server can be accessed.
Ping good both ways. On the server the hosts shared drives/files are
not shown in My Networks. I can see the host computer if I click on
the network name in Microsoft Networks, but access is denied. I have
Simple File Sharing turned on on both computers.
Thanks for your help!
