Hi

I have set up a home wireless workgroup between laptop &
desktop.......The two communicate no problem, however
when I try to open view laptop files/vice versa, i am
prompted with a password. The only passwords I have
allocated on both computers is a signing on password.

When I enter the password the network will not let me in.

According to wireless manufacturer my xp security system
is set to high.

Can anyone help?

If you have XP Home Edition, all that should be needed is to run the
Network Setup Wizard on each computer to fully enable file sharing:

If you have XP Professional and have disabled simple file sharing, see
this article for how to configure permissions:
