Access Denied After Creating Workgroup and Sharing Drive and Files

[jkey251045]

Please direct me to the correct solution. I have spent literally hours
reading posts and I still am clueless here.

I am using Windows XP Home and have set up a Home Network with two desktops
and one laptop. I do have another laptop that I just got that is using
Vista. I have not put it in the network yet.

My problem is: After Sharing the C: Drive and the Folders, I cannot access
the files on any of the computers? What did I do.

How do I go about fixing this problem.

I am connected to the internet through a wireless router utilizing ATT
(BellSouth FastAccess DSL). I have no problem getting to the internet on any
of the computers.

I can print to any of the printers attached to the desktops.

I hope that you can help me figure this out.

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.
