File sharing problem

S

sbga

I have a wireless network, and am trying to access file on a xp pro computer
with a xp home laptop, have both computers in the same workgroup with the
same user account and password, however whenever i try to access the folder
it says "You Might not have permission to access this network resource."
Any fix for this??

Run the file sharing wizard.
If using 3rd Party firewall, check for file sharing(LAN) exceptions on your
profile in that firewall.

Also, run the XP’s Home or Small Office Network File and Printer Sharing
Wizard to include Vista in your “New†Network, even if you had an XP Network
set up prior to adding a Vista computer to it(redoing the Wizard seems to
work for XP machines!).

In “My Network Placesâ€: “Set up a Home or Small Office Networkâ€
OR under Accessories > Communications > Network Setup Wizard > Allow File
and Printer Sharing.

I have disabled all firewalls, ran wizard on both computers, enabled file
sharing, still nothing. I got it to work when I installed "Network Magic",
then uninstalled it, it worked until I restarted my computers
