Hi all,

I have a problem with file sharing. I have two computers
directly connected over an Ethernet crossover cable. They
can both see each other, and one of them can access the
other's files, but the other can't. I installed the HDD
from my old computer into one of these systems and now I
can't access it, or any of the other drives, from the
other system. All the drives (including floppy/optical)
have been allocated as shared and have share names. The
Help and Support troubleshooter are of no help. Can
anyone out there solve my problem? It would be greatly
appreciated!
