I am the person in charge of the network. I didn't think it was so much a laptop issue as a permissions issue on the XP Pro machine. The trouble is I don't know how to tweak the settings to allow access.

Hi
It is Not an issue with your Laptop.
The Network has to set to accept the Laptop.
The person in charge of the Network should help you.

We have a small peer-to-peer network at work, about 16 PCs, a mixture of Windows XP Pro, XP Home, 1 W2K Pro, and a couple of Win98 machines. I want to use my personal laptop, which is part of my home peer-to-peer network to access a folder on a Windows XP Pro PC that has simple file sharing turned off. I have the same logon id and password on both my laptop and desktop, and when I try to access the desired folder from my work desktop there's no problem. When I try to access the same pc from my laptop I can see all the shared resources on the desktop, but I can't acutally access them. I suspect I could probably solve this problem simply by changing my laptop's workgroup to my office's workgroup but I would rather not do that. Does anyone know of any other solution to this problem? Perhaps there's some setting I can tweak on the XP Pro machine? Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Jim
