Main PC using XP Pro/SP2, laptop using XP Media Centre.
Connected via 3Com wireless modem/router.
System was working OK but because of unfixable problems had to re-install XP
on main PC.
Now I can "see" main pc from laptop and move files one way.
I can't however "see" laptop from main PC, get message:

MS Home
\\Laptop is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the admin to find out...etc.
Access denied.

I have full admin rights on both PC's.
Have checked that the C drive on laptop is set to "share this folder on the
network", also "allow network users to change files".
Any suggestions appreciated.

You need to supply some diagnostics.

Do this on the laptop:
- Click Start / Run / cmd > OK
- Type these commands:
set > c:\%ComputerName%.txt {Enter}
notepat c:\%Computername%.txt {Enter}
- Paste the text into your reply.

Do this on your laptop:
- Click Start / Run / cmd > OK
- Type these commands:
cd /d "%UserProfile%" {Enter}
set > c:\%ComputerName%.txt {Enter}
net user >> c:\%ComputerName%.txt {Enter}
cacls desktop >> c:\%ComputerName%.txt {Enter}
notepat c:\%Computername%.txt {Enter}
- Paste the text into your reply.

Assuming Notepad, not notepat, and that the first one is main PC, this is

Doesn't mean a lot to me! Maybe connected is the fact that when it was
working OK I was able to print from laptop when main PC was on, now I can't.
Printer hard wired to main PC but when I get this sorted will be trying to
add a print server.

Sorry about the typographica error - glad you worked it out
for yourself.

The information you posted tells me a whole lot, e.g.
- which account you used to log on at each machine;
- that it is the same account in each case;
- your computer names;
- the account names defined on your laptop;

Unfortunately it does not give me the answer to your problem.
Some more diagnostics! Please do this from a Command Prompt
on your laptop while logged on as "Kenny Cargill":
net user "Kenny Cargill" December {Enter}
net share test="%UserProfile%\Desktop {Enter}
echo %ComputerName% > c:\test.txt
net share >> c:\test.txt
net use Q: \\%ComputerName%\test >> c:\test.txt
net use >> c:\test.txt
notepad c:\test.txt

And on your desktop I would like you to run these commands
from a Command Prompt while logged on as "Kenny Cargill":
net user "Kenny Cargill" December {Enter}
echo %ComputerName% > c:\test.txt
net use Q: \\Laptop\test >> c:\test.txt
net use >> c:\test.txt
notepad c:\test.txt

Please note that your password is now set to "December"
on each machine!

Post the contents of both files.

When you ran the command

net use Q: \\Laptop\test

on your desktop PC you mapped drive Q: to the "test"
share on the laptop. Using Explorer, My Computer or a
Command Prompt on the desktop PC, can you acccess
files and folders on drive Q:? Is your original problem solved?

I'm running out of things to test. Here are a few options
for you to choose from:
- Live with the problem.
- See if some other respondent comes up with any bright ideas.
- Reload Windows on the laptop.
- Give me access to your two PCs so that I can see with my
own eyes what's going on.
If you intend to consider the last option, send a note to
pegasus_fnlATyahooDOTcom. I will monitor this mail box
for 48 hours from now.

On each WinXP PC, create local user account(s), with non-blank
password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired
shares. To rephrase, identical (as in username/password) accounts must
exist on each machine. Log on to the other PCs using those account(s),
and you will be able to access the designated shares, provided your
network is configured properly. Also, make sure that WinXP's built-in
firewall is either disabled on the internal LAN connection, or set to
allow exceptions for File and Print Sharing.

Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:
