I have 2 WinXP Sp 2 machines conmnected by wire to a D-Link ADSL
modem/router.

This appears to be a very simple configuration, but despite running teh 'Set
up a home or small office network' wizard a number of times, I repeatedly
get the folllowing result:

- both machines see the internet perfectly
- each machine 'sees' the other in 'My Network Places', but refuses
permission to view or access its shared folders.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steven
 
Thanks - will check it ou - by teh way, I had this all working perfectly at
one time - can't figure what I've done wrong.

Thanks again,

Steven

i seem to remember someone telling me thatwindows networking was notorious
for this type of thing

i wonder if there s a way of reseting the networking setting to default, so
you can startagain. that is whta i want to do
