Photos are stored on a desktop computer with XP Pro
Laptop with wireless access to shared photos directory with XP Home

Photots in a landscape mode work just fine
Photos in portrait mode that were likely auto rotated by cannon camera
cannot be viewed on laptop.
All Photos work just fine on desktop

I'm going to take a wild stab at it...

Go to the desktop, go to the folder and right click on it, in the sharing
section of the properties "allow network users to change my files."

Thanks for the suggestion, but that box is already checked on the parent folder
However, I did notice that the folders are marked read only.

Is the Cannon software (I'm guessing that's where the problem is but still
just guessing - this is more a network problem than a photo problem) making
any changes to the file permissions? Is it moving - perhaps - the files to
an alternative folder and that folder is unable to be shared (such as
something in the program files folder perhaps) or the likes? This seems very
much a permissions issue and the root seems (again just a guess) to be
Cannon's doing.

I think that it is a network problem also, but I do not understand why
landscape pictures show fine, where-as portrait layout is a problem, but only
across the network. These pictures are intermixed in the same directory.
Their permissions are identical.(Yes, I looked)

I wasn't completely clear in not working. I meant "preview not available" in
microsoft fax and picture viewer. ACDSee will not preview these same pictures
either. They are associated with ACDSee on both machines.

On a whim, I tried to rotate a picture by right clicking and "rotate
picture". I get "You cannot rotate this image. The file might be in use by
another program, or the file might be read only." Rotating a picture that
has a preview, works properly.

Seems straightforward, but It is not read only for the file, nor the folder.
It is also not in use, as far as I can tell.
 
Also, when I make a copy of a problem file. named "copy of...jpg" preview
shows up normally on both machines.

Hmm... Go to the desktop computer and reboot it into safe mode WITH
networking (disconnect it from the internet first but not from your network
IF possible) and try it.

Safe Mode:

Safe mode with networking made no difference

Then I'd definitely go to the networking group as I doubt that it's a photo
issue and you'll find networking gurus in there who will help better than I
could even dream of helping.
