Home Network problem

[Guest]

Ihave XP on both PCs which run through a Linksys router - route hooked into
cable modem. i set up a home network, and both machines can see the network.
the harddrives and printers on both machines are set to share, and I can see
the names of both machines on the network. However when I try to open a file
on the other machine, or set up a network printer, I get the message that the
network is not accessible, and contact my administrator. any suggestions?

Here I have described similar problems only using crossover cable connection:

TRAFFIC ISSUES: ACCESS refused. Client Can NOT access server both compuers
in network are running XP PRO with SP2.

QUESTION TO ANY EXPERT: a reply will be appreciate.

Basically it is a Internet connection sharing.
PC (server) running XP PRO SP2 connect to cable modem.
Laptop (client) running XP PRO SP2 connect internet trought server.
(Internet works on laptop. sometimes with connectivity issues by it works)
Connection are cabled crossover.
I have run carefully the network wizard with file and printer sharing
enabled.

PING s also are OK. Server can access client without problem and share
file.(traffic server-->client works fine)

My problem traffic in the other sense: client server doesn't work). When
I see my network places, network workgroups in my laptop (client) I can see
worksgroup but can NOT access server. When clic on server I get a Error
message says “ you have no rights to access this network ressouces†ask
server admin.

MY QUESTION FOR ONE MILLION DOLLAR TO BILL GATES
How server can give access to client . Where ? . I believe it is a
incredible BOOOOG in Service Pack 2. I have tried ALL. With or without
firewall, with or without NORTON antivirus 2005
I have read all last press from MS and sp2 but no solution to this obvious
problem.

and yes , when server is in XP SP1 this home network works fine.

So, of course I would like to stay with sp2 security improvements, pop up
bloquer etc., all seems good, BUT seems incredible can not configure a simple
network using WIN XP PRO service pack 2.

PLEASE HELP...... or at least please give minimal precision to see where
change the parameter in the sever ( firewall) and HOW really give access to
my laptop (client).
THANKS IN ADVANCE PLZ email to (e-mail address removed)
