lil file sharing problem on network

[coolmansuk1]

well i have a network a crossover cable ya you guessed it right i only
have 2 pc's on my network- 1. desktop - winxp pro (ip 192.0.0.2)
2. lap top IBM with win xp PRO sp1 or sp2 (ip 192.0.0.1)
--------------------------------------------------------
network wizard completed correctly
BOTH ARE ON SAME WORKSROUP AND PINGS FINE
well the main problem is that the laptop is unable to access the
desktop and gives the error

\\desktop is not accessible. you might not have the permission to use
thins resource. contact the admin to this server to find out if you
have access permissions.
Logon failure: the user had not been granted the requested logon type
at this computer.

but i can access the laptop from by desktop and could transfer 1.31 gb
on to the laptop within a couple of mins.
---------------------------------------------------------------

i tried to solve the problem by editing the local security setting.
added 'everyone' to access this computer from the network and removed
everything from "Deny access to this computer on the network".

AFTER THIS THE ERROR MESSAGE CHANGED TO
\\desktop is not accessible. you might not have the permission to use
thins resource. contact the admin to this server to find out if you
have access permissions.
ACCESS DENIED.

I have enabled the guest account on the desktop but no help.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECOND PROBLEM

i was trying to send a file from the notebook to the desktop using
hyperterminal . it starts off fine but after a couple of seconds the
transfer stops a lil later the notebook starts to send the data but the
desktop gets nothing!

could these problems be connected? is there a common solution

Those are public IP addresses, and using them could prevent your
computers from accessing some web sites. Change them to private IP
addresses: 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2.

How did you enable the Guest account? The setting in Control Panel |
User Accounts has nothing to do with networking. To enable the Guest
account for networked access, run this command:

net user guest /active:yes

The Guest account is only relevant if simple file sharing is enabled.
If simple file sharing is disabled, create matching user accounts on
both computers: same user name and password.

I don't think the problems are related, but I'm not familiar with
Hyperterminal.

"The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following
three blocks of the IP address space for private internets (local networks):

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255


Also, IP addresses in the range of 169.254.0.0 -169.254.255.255 are reserved
for Automatic Private IP Addressing."
