Unable to write FROM:
Desktop WinXP pro SP2

Laptop WinXP home SP2

Simplified file sharing
Guest is "on" on both computers.
Able to view either direction
Able to "pull" file from desktop into directory on laptop
unable to "push" file from desktop into same directory

Folder into which I am attempting to write in laptop is set up with
"share this folder on the network, and "allow network users to modify
files in this directory"

Error message when attempting to write to laptop is "Cannot copy
filename: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or
write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."

When attempting to rename a file in the target directory, I get
"Cannot rename filename: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not
full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."

It's almost as if the check box to allow modification of files in that
directory did not "take".

Any ideas?

Alexy,

Does "Guest is "on"" mean activated for network access?

Chuck:
Following these instructions on both computers did not make a
difference.

There are 2 registry settings which can prevent Guest access from working
properly:

RestrictNullSessAccess does not appear in the indicated place in the
laptop's registry. The other two mentioned in this article indicate
that they would make the network resource not show, which is not my
problem--I just can't write to it.

What firewalls are you using on each computer?

Widows firewall on both computers, with exceptions allowed for file
and printer sharing (both computers), and for windows explorer(desktop
only). AVG antivirus on both. Laptop used to have Avast!, but that was
deactivated and uninstalled. No firewall element in either to my
knowledge.

OK, Alex,

You have Simple File Sharing on. Maybe you need to check the permissions
anyway. SFS gives you a different GUI. The same permission granularity, under
NTFS, still applies.
