Hi all,

I have two computers hooked on a router both running windows xp sp2.
Both connect to the internet fine.
I ran Network Wizard to connect the two to share files.
Problem is....
One computer has allowed me access to the other e.g
Computer A has access to files on Computer B
But
Computer B doesnt have access to Computer A


All im getting is the message:
" \\name of computer is not accessible. You might not have permission
to use the network resource. Contact the administrator of the server
to find out if you have access permissions".
it appears in almost second after typing \\name not thinking at all.


I try ping each other and it worked fine and also turn off the
firewalls.


Please advise how to solve this.

(snip multipost)

Asked and answered in the other newsgroup to which you posted. Please
don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you *less*
help, not more. See this for why:

If you have forgotten where you posted or can't find your post, use
Google Groups Advanced Search and search for your name.

Pardon me but I kinda understand the logic of not multiposting and it
causing "work" for everyone but, I saw a question here and looked for the
answer and now I have to search for the "other newsgroup" which is was asked
and answered just to get the answer. I'm just curious as to why some posters
just not answer the question and then give the etiquette on posting,
multiposting, etc. so those reading that post at hand can be educated.
No offense to anyone as I do value all replys, I'm just curious as to not
repeat and to learn.
I've always wondered this but just got the nerve to ask it and I love
Malke's replys so I'm sure she will explain it to me in a language easily
undestood.
Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks for answering the Post to. God, all i wanted was the answer and you
care about cross posting.
 
I just ran into this same network problem over the holiday as I was setting
up for two computers behind a shared router. Where do I get the answer to
the problem stated here? I don't want to deal with the issue of cross posting
at this time.
