Its all handled by the SMB protocol, so filesystems dont come into account. Next: It said "You might not have permission to access this resource" so surely that would point you in the direction of User accounts! What is the username you're using on both PC's? Try this: Make a new user on both PC's, we'll call it "Chill" so you know what you're going (And just coz Im helping you... Call it Rob99 or whatever you want, just make sure its the same on both PC's!) Next, give Chill a password on both PC's. Make it "password" for the time being, but again it doesnt matter what it is, so long as there is a password and it is identical on both systems. Now, temporarily logout of both PC's and Login as Chill. Browse the network on both and let me know if it works Chill. |

| 246460 | 2004-06-22 06:21:00 | Disable the firewalls completely till you get it working, then manually add each computer's IP address. For networking I recommend a static IP for each computer. Then can go drop to the run box and type in the other computer's IP address e.g \\192.168.0.11\ With XP, you need to make user accounts on each of the PCs. If computer one uses Rob as username/login, then make a user account called Rob on the other computer. Do that for both PCs. |

| 246462 | 2004-06-22 06:39:00 | Were they "Administrators" or THE Administrator??? You want them both to have an identical login...... Who cares if one is Admin and one has User rights, as long as the Login name and Password is IDENTICAL! |

| 246463 | 2004-06-22 09:45:00 | Ive just gone thru sorta the same thing... kinda.... Ummm... i dont really know but... if you can ping you've got your TCP/IP set right... In your "local area conection" properties in "networks conections" you have got "client for microsoft networks" and "File and print sharing"... four things... Client... Service... Protocol... Reboot... ??? |
