Connecting to a Windows 2000 PC

[Tom]

Hi,

Would greatly appreciate any insights in to the following
problem I'm having.

I'm trying to connect two PC's together so that I can
transfer files. The files are on a laptop with XP Home
Edition. The other PC has Win2K Pro. I've connected via
Ethernet cards and both are members of WORKGROUP. Host
names are unique

I've gotten it to the point where I can see both PCs
in "My Network Places". I can access files on the XP PC
from the Win2K PC, but not the other way. When I click
on the Win2K PC in "My Network PLaces" on the XP PC, I
get an error that says something about permissions.

Not quite sure where to check on the Win2K box. Do I
need to set something in Local Policy?. How do I set
permissions for an XP user from the Laptop in a Workgroup
network? Maybe I'm going down the wrong path.

Please help!

Thanks,

Tom

I am sure it's a permission issue. try to put the user
account in local admin group of Win2k machine. sign in to
the Xp machine with the account. You should ba able to
access files in the Win2k machine.

Possible sollutions would be to check to see if the
computer that contains the files you want to get has had
its drive marked as a shared drive. Also make sure that
that computer is listed as the host computer and the one
to copy the files to is the guest computer.

I can make the connection with Direct Cable Connect and
Hyperterminal but I'm having trouble finding the tool to
perform copies of the files. Can you help?
