Re: Networking - Access denied to shared folders



I would double check the permissions and make sure you have setup permission on the Security tab. Or this search result may help.

Windows Vista Premium & XP Home network comprising wireless router,
old desktop XP PC and one new Vista laptop cable-connected to router, plus
2 laptops wireless-only connected.

When I click "View Network Computers" from the cable connected laptop, the
old XP desktop PC I want to access (call it "PROBLEMPC") appears in the
Network map/liist but when I double-click on almost all of the folders I get
an Access Denied message. That PROBLEMPC is ethernet-cable plugged in to the
wireless router - the new vista laptop is also ethernet cable connected to
the router. Each computer has three users. I can access my folders on the old
xp pc - but not the folders of the other 2 users - even though they have been
set up for sharing.
So there obviously is a connection, all I want to do is access PROBLEMPC in
the normal way through the network. Any ideas?
