I haver just finally managed tofix a problem that I was
experiencing setting up a network b/w XP and 2K. I can
finally access the internet on both computers. I can also
access the shared files on my XP computer from the 2K
computer. But I still am having one major problem: I can't
access the 2K computer from the XP computer. I can see the
2K computer in my workgroup, but every time I attempt to
access it I get the following message:

"xxxx is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource. Contact the administrator of
this server to find out if yuou have access permissions.

The network path was not found."

I need to have access to a printer so that I can print, and
I have set up duplicate accounts on both of my computers.
What Gives?!?
 
These are network operating systems intended for businesses. You need to
have identical user accounts (and passwords) on both machines. For example
WinXP user: myuser
passwod: passwduser
Win2k user: myuser
password: passwduser
You may also want to try turning off the "Use Simple File Sharing" feature
which can be found at the bottom of Folder Options -> View list (this is
assuming that you are using XP Pro). But you should be able to access your
shares just by having identical accounts.
