Solved: File sharing problem..

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.

 

Create a user account on the "Pro" machine(s) with the same name/password as used to login to the XP-Home machine. As long as that account has access permissions to the shared files, you'll lose the password prompt.

 

Thanks for advice - Done that - Now doesn't ask for the log in (Thank you) but does say access denied.
Have been through and checked permissions.
All the files that require sharing access are on 'pro1' The security permissions for the users on 'pro2' and the 'home' PC are identical yet the 'home' user gets the access denied message.!!
I'm beginning to think it might be easier to use simple file sharing??

 

Thanks 'TerryNet' - Removed Norton using removal tool and all now works. Excuse me if I don't share my views of Norton.! Thank you..
