Win 2K Peer to Peer Networking problem

D

Dave

I just set up a wireless network with a Windows 2000 Pro
Desktop and a Windows 2000 Pro Laptop. The desktop is
connected directly to the Router. The Desktop only has
the
Administrator account, with no password. The Laptop logs
in with a named user account, with Administrator
privledges.

I wish to share folders and a printer.

From the Desktop, I can see the Laptop in My Network
places, and log in using the username and password from
the Laptop, However, when I try to do the reverse, I can
see the Desktop from My Network Places on the Laptop, but
can not log in. I have tried every possible password and
username combo, but am can not gain access. I tried using
Administrator, I tried using guest. I even created a new
user and password on the Desktop, and tried logging into
that from the Laptop. No dice. I also created a User on
the Desktop with the same name and password as the
Laptop. Also didn't work. Incidently, the Desktop is
using the NTFS file system and the Laptop is Fat32, if
that matters.

Any suggestions???
