I'm also having trouble with this issue. I have a laptop and a desktop
on a home workgroup and both have XP Professional loaded. Both
machines can see each other fine. When logged into both computers
under my name, which is an administrator on each machine, I cannot
browse the My Documents folder on the desktop from the laptop. It
keeps telling me I don't have access, but I clearly do under the share
permissions and NTFS permissions. It will work if I add the Everyone,
Network or another loose permission, but it won't work with my name. I
really don't want to use a low security group like Everyone or
Network. I wonder if it has something to do with using a workgroup
because it works like a dream with a domain. Workgroups are such a
pain. Any help would be great. Thanks!
To enable access to My Documents over the network, disable simple file
sharing on XP Pro.

Steve,
Thanks for your reply. However, I already had simple file sharing
disabled on both my desktop and my laptop. As I mentioned above, I'm
not sure what permissions to allow that will still maintain network
security. I don't want to add the "Everyone" or "Network" permissions
because neither of these are secure. What permissions or security
groups do you suggest using?
