I've read the posts from Mick and others and it STILL isn't helping. I beg
for help as I have wasted hours of my life reading the internet and trying
many things. I'll take anyones help and will maticulously follow anyone's
instruction.
My Vista Laptop. I enabled Guest, although I heard it is better not to do
that. I have a administrative account named "Owner". And I added a user
name called "Brandon T". On this last one I assigned a password. Network is
set to "private". Password protected sharing is set to "off" to avoid any
hassles. Public folder sharing is set to off because I want to share
specific files. For the specific folder "music", sharing says "Brandon T"
and "Owner". "Brandon T" is "reading" but that's ok because I only want to
copy for back up purposes onto my desktop. I have McAfee protection but I
disabled firewalls on both sides of the equation.
My XP Desktop. One user account "Brandon T" with same password as laptop.
Workgroup is set to same as laptop, "MSHOME". I have NOT downloaded the LLTP
.... thing ... because I read it wasn't necessary to share.
My Desktop CAN SEE the "music" file, but ... and you know what's coming ...
"<xxxx> is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have
access pemissions."
I beg for help. I thank you for your response.
