I can't access shared folders on an XP Pro maching from
and XP Home machine. Does anyone know how I can solve
this problem.

Thanks.
 
What errors do you get?
Can you see each computer in my network places from the other?
Did you create the identical usernames & passwords on both computers?
Do you have the XP firewalls enabled?
 
Do you have the firewall enabled, or another firewall
program installed? You will have disable them to share
files. Also are your configure for the same work group.
The default is MSHOME. You can check this by going to
control panel, system, and then looking at the Nework ID
information. Make sure that you have the folder shared.
 
You Cannot Access Shared Files and Folders or Browse Computers in the Workgroup
