W2K PC won't share

[Gene]

Hi,

I've just set up a home network:

1) Firewall/router (DI-624) connected to cable modem
2) W2K Pro PC connected to DI-624 via LAN port
3) Laptop w/ wireless card running XP

Everything works fine except the Laptop is unable to 'see'
anything on the PC (the PC can see all the shared files on
the laptop, though). I can ping the PC from the laptop,
see the PC in my windows network workgroup, but I receive
this error message when I try to access the shared folders
I've set up on the PC:

"PC is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource. Contact the administrator of
this server to find out if you have access permissions.

The server is not configured for transations."

I've spent hours reading help documentation, home
networking help sites, etc, and tried many fixes. None
have worked so far, though.

Thanks in advance to anyone out there that can help!

Make sure that you have shared out the folder, and you have created the a
username/password for them both to use. If you are logging on to one system
as username x password y, an account for username x password y will need to
also exist on the machine you are connecting to.

Probably, you've lost IPC$ share on PC. Recreate it from CommandPrompt as
'net share ipc$' and patch PC immediately (Windows Update).
