guys I setup 2 pc's at my church and I shared the C drive on both and
setup the network using mshome in the network wizard setting and even
though i'm logged in as admin on both, both pc's see the mshome and I
see wk1 and wk2 but when I go into the pc i'm not not setting at i'm
getting access denied. any thoughts on how to fix that?

Thanks

On each WinXP PC, create local user account(s), with non-blank
password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired
shares. Log on to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will be
able to access the designated shares, provided your network is
configured properly. Also, make sure that WinXP's built-in firewall is
disabled on the internal LAN connection.

Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:

Bruce thanks for the reply, each pc has a user account w/ my name and pw
as the admin, all both c drive are shared with full rights, built in
firewalls are disable and 3rd party firewall. I checked the links you
listed and they confirmed that it was setup right. just for the heck of
it I even redid the setup and they still won't work.
