This is a networking issue, not a printing one. Please ask in the XP
Networking NG.

I used to have File sharing and printer sharing between my PC and my wife's
PC but all of a sudden it only half works.
I can see & use all the folders etc on her PC but she cannot access my PC.
I use one PC as a backup for the other for certain data folders/files.
For
example I will copy my mail data to hers and vice versa.
Yesterday she wanted to access the Photo Storage area on my pc to print
some
photos on the colour printer shared on my pc and could not view or print.
If I look at My Network Places on her pc, I can drill down to the
workgroup
and even to the name of my PC but when I try and double click on my pc
name
it takes a long think and then tells me that "house_lan" is not accessible
and to check with the admin for rights etc.
I checked this and even created some new groups with the appropiate
permissions etc but nothing changed. It still does not work
I have "Simple File Sharing" Disabled so that I can use groups to grant
what
access I like.
I have "Shared" Printers and folders and given permissions to the groups &
added users to these groups.
I have made the user names & passwords the same on both PC's so that they
can access this without a login prompt.
I never get the login box by the way.
It all used to work in the past so something has changed. The only thing
I
can remember installing since is Windows Live & TCP/IQ.
This all used to work!!
