I have just set up a WLAN between my XP Home & W2K Pro
machines using a DSL 604+ wireless ADSL Router. I have the
internet connection sorted (which I though would be a
problem due to the attitude of my ISP) and both PCs access
the internet independently. On my W2k PC I can see and
share the XP shared folders (hoorah!)- however, the
workgroup cannot be accessed from the XP PC. I cannot even
see the W2K machine or workgroup from the XP PC.
I set up accounts with the same user name and password on
both machines, created a "Shared" folder on W2K, granted
(what I thought were) all the relevant permissions on the
W2K PC, but still this final part eludes me. I have tried
adding a Network Place, but I get error regarding server
permission.I disabled the freeware Sygate Firewall on the
W2K PC and now I get 2 messages in the dialogue box when I
attempt to view the network- one informing me that the
Workgroup is not accessable with permissions etc, and one
informing me that the user has not been granted the
requested logon type at this computer (on the XP PC).
I have reviewed the settings in the Local Security
policies in W2K, but cannot see anything obvious (I am
assuming that its the W2K machine that is the problem).
In User Rights Assignment I have enabled both named PCs as
able to access the PC from the network. I am also unsure
if the settings for the shares are correct.
I realise that permissions can be rather byzantine in W2K,
but if there is something in the security policies etc
that will resolve this I have missed?
(a few tutorials have helped, but most are aimed at XP-
98/ME rather than my combo).

firewalls and since then has been unanswered]
