351820 2005-05-03 10:53:00 I have a PC and a Laptop, both running WIn XP Pro connected in a simple network through an external firewall.

The PC can recognise the laptop as a network drive. The laptop can access the printers connected to the network via the PC but the laptop cannot recognise the drives on the PC.

I have checked all the sharing options on the PC folders/drives and sharing is enabled.

Problem seems to have arisen since I installed XP SP2 on PC and upgraded the PC to a 120GB Hard Drive.

When I try to map a network drive from the laptop to the pC I get an error message saying the server hasn't enough storage.

Can anyone offer a possible solution ?

351821 2005-05-03 13:11:00 Have you assigned permissions on both machines? I give myself the same username and login both ways for simplicity.

Are the XP Sp2 firewalls sidabled on both machines and any 3rd party firewalls configured to allow the IP's/IP ranges you use or all traffic in the trusted zone (LAN)?
