Cannot Share Files Over Network

[smellae]

i have two computers in my network. on both computers,
you can go to network places, view workgroup computers,
and both computers will show up. the host computer can
get files from the client pc, but the client can't get
files from the host. when the client trys it says:

\\Smellae is not accessible. You may not have permission
to use this network resource. Contact the administrator
of this server to find out if you have access
permissions.

Logon failure: the user has not been granted the
requested logon type at this computer.

smellae is the name of the host computer. any suggestions?

Greetings smellae,

The users may not have permission on the other computer you are trying to
access due to a local security policy.

To resolve this problem, go to Administrative Tools and open the Local
Security Policy. Expand 'User Rights Assignment' in the left pane and Double
click on "Access this computer from the network." What users are allowed to
access the computer. Make sure the Users, Groups, Everyone, or any users you
want in list to have access.

Also, in the Local Security Policy scroll and find "Deny access to this
computer from the network." Double click or right click on it and choose
Properties. Make sure nobody in there is listed besides Support and Guests.
