I have setup a home network, a local desktop wired to a router and a laptop
wireless to the router, router is connected to a cable modem. Both run XP
Pro, latest updates. Both are set up for "simple file sharing". Both have
anti-virus & firewall software running (supplied by ISP), Windows Firewall is
OFF.
I can see the desktop and all the folders from the laptop and can share the
printer connected to the desktop. I can also see the laptop from the desktop
and can access filed on the laptop.
I can only access "some" files on the desktop from the laptop... For
example, I have multiple folders in My Pictures (located in My Documents), I
can correctly view the pictures in some folders but not in other folders.
I can open some files on the desktop from the laptop and others won't open
(access denied... message).
I have gone through many of the suggestions here but so far have no answer..
Any ideas??? Thanks.
