Have 3 PC's - One Xp home - 2 XP PRO all networked on a workgroup.
Trying to share some folders but having problems with the XP home machine.
Have not used simple file sharing on the 'pro' machine as wanted more detailed control over the folders etc.. When trying to access the files from the 'home' machine to the 'pro' machine it askes for the user login and password. When entered it say files not accessible. The folder is shared and 'everyone' has share authority. Both machines have the guest account activated and both machines have the accounts relating to all users.
Do I need to use simple file sharing on all machines? I set all permissions I can find to allow access but still will not allow.
The firewall has also been disabled but made no difference. (Including Norton firewall!)
Help...???
Just to add - that the 'Pro' machines seem to share folders without difficulty.
