I have 2 PC running WinXP (one on wired and one on wireless), I used the
Network Setup Wizard on both machines. I can see the workgroup on both
machines, I can access the PC (and all the shared folders) on wireless from
the wired PC. But I can not access the wired PC from the wireless PC, when I
click on it, it says access is denied you don't have permission etc.. Any
help please.

Thank you.

The old "... access denied ..." error can have several causes. What operating
system / file sharing does each computer have? XP Home, XP Pro with Simple File
Sharing, XP Pro with Advanced File Sharing with Guest access, XP Pro with
Advanced File Sharing with non-Guest access? These are important choices.

Make sure that the right account is properly activated, for network access, on
each computer!

I am having a similar problem with the "access denied ..." message. I get
this when trying to open my shared documents folder on my PC using both my PC
& laptop (both are running XP Home). I can access the shared documents folder

I have XP MCE on the wired PC and XP pro on the wireless PC. It used to work
until I defragment the C drive on the XP MCE PC. Any clue? Thanks.
