2000 PC cannot access XP Share???

[Matthew]

I have a windows 2000 professional box that refused to
access a Windows XP Share i have setup. I tried it using
simple file sharing, and with simple file sharing turned
off. The XP box can access the 2000 box, but the 2000 box
cannot access the XP Box. Any Idears.... Help!@!!!!

give that a try.

You'll want to create an account (in Users and Passwords) on the Win2k
machine(s) with the username and password that you use to logon to the WinXP
machine(s) with (and vice-versa). Then you'll need to share out the
resource(s) with permissions for those users. Also make sure they're all
part of the same workgroup. Then you'll no longer be prompted for the IPC$
password (Inter-process communication)

In a peer level workgroup, when you try to access resources on a Windows
2000/XP machine, Windows 2000/XP needs to authenticate the user. If the user
account doesn't exist in it's local account database, then access will be
denied.

Also you mat need to enable netbios over tcp/ip

Also make sure "File and Printer Sharing" is bound to the connection.
