Home Networking

[Alan Vowles]

I have 2 networked machines at home both running XP Pro. One is XP Pro
from scratch the other has been upgraded from ME

On both machines under Network Neighbourhood I can see the MSHOME
workgroup and both the computers under the workgroup.

But when I click on either computer from the other one to access the
shared resouces I get a message saying I do not have the access rights

Please help!

You also need to enable sharing on each resource that you want to share.
if you want to share C: drive right click on it and follow the Sharing and
Security menu option

In a peer-to-peer network all security information is held on each machine
locally, therefore you need to ensure that there is an IDENTICAL user with
IDENTICAL password and IDENTICAL access rights set up on each machine.
