I have 2 computers connected by a wireless connection. One is running XP
Professional, while the other is running Windows 2000.
On the Win2000 computer, I can go into Network Places and see all of the
files from the XP computer, but when I go into Network Places on the XP
computer and try to bring up the files from the Win2000 computer, I get the
following error message: "[Win2000 computer] is not available. You might not
have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of
this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was
not found."
What can I do in order to be able to see the files from my Win2000 computer,
on my XP computer?
 
Do you have a user set up on the Windows 2000 computer for the XP machine?
It should be the same username/password that the user on the XP machine is
logged in with.

Make sure you have shares on the 2000 machine as well, and permissions are
set. Also make sure the workgroup names are the same.
