Can see computer over network but cant see folders on one machine

[Guest]

Hi
I know this is a common problem but I cant fix it from the existing threads.
I have just installed a router and its working fine with the internet. My PC
is connected to it via ethernet and my laptop by wireless. My PC can see and
get full access to my laptop but my laptop can see but cant access my PC
"access denied etc". I have tried disconecting the XP firewalls etc but no
fix. Would appreciate any help on this please.
Regards
keith

Keith,

What's the complete and exact "access denied etc" message?

One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, and NOTE that all personal firewalls don't always
allow you to disable them easily. And there are other possibilities too.

If no help yet, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely:
