Simple Network Woes

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Ive ran out of options...

PC #1 Laptop: Win XP Media Center, wireless connection to Router, No
Firewall. I can see PC #2 and access shared folders and transfer files
from #1 to #2.

PC #2 Desktop: Win XP Media Center, Wireless connection to Router, No
Firewall. I can see PC #1 on the network but the (2) shared folders do
not show up. When I click on PC #1, I get the following screen:
\\FamilyPC is not accessible. You might not have permission to use the
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out
if You have access permissions. Access is denied.


Both PC's access the internet ok.

Thanks.
