I have a pc & a laptop that I am trying to connect
together using a network card (10/100 ethernet). I have
set up the connection and work group on both. I know
this works because when I unplug the cable both
acknowledge this. Sharing of folders have been set up.

My problem is this. Neither the pc or laptop can see or
access each other. What do I do to set up access
permission on both? The tutorials in XP don't help
despite trying everything they offer. Can anyone point
me in the right direction, or recommend a tutorial I can
follow?
 
If you're connecting two PCs together and using the NICs, then you'll need a
Cat5. crossover cable. The regular Cat5. network cable won't work.

Hope that helps.
