Why is it difficult to share files from windows xp home to a xp pro??

I can se the other computer, but have no access.

I've tried to use the same log-on username and password, and I have also
shared a folder under c:.

But it won't work...

Anyone have a clue??
 
If any firewalls are on that can prevent your network from
functioning. Make sure the XP firewall is not turned on.
You'll find XP's ICF under the Advanced tab of Network
Connection Properties dialog box.

I solved this the expensive way with an upgrade of the XP
Home system to XP Pro. Everything went flawlessly, all it
cost was $179.00 from Staples, but cheap at the price
compared with the nearly 8 hours on the phone to Dell,
and it was not their problem!!

Good luck.
