peer to peer access denied

[Andy]

I have two computers on a peer to peer network.
Everything was working great until now. when one of the
computers tries to access the other computer, I am
getting access denied you do not have permission to
access this computer. When going to the other computer
it can see the first computer and read the files. There
were a couple of viruses on one of the computer and they
have been cleaned up. I can ping both computers and get
a responce. No firewalls are installed. Does anybody
have any sugestions? I tried going through the
administator tools and from what I saw everything looked
normal in the policies. No passwords are being used and
both accounts are administrators. I tried creating
another account and the issue was the same. These are
both Win XP Pro machines.

Thanks for any help

Andy,

Which version of XP are you running? Is it up-to-date with the latest and
greatest patches. I understand that you have no firewall but is the Windows
firewall enabled? If you are running SP2, it is enabled by default. Also,
have you verified that everything else can talk to the public network execpt
this P2P application? If so, have you contacted the P2P provider to see if
they can offer assistance as well?

Thanks,

I would try putting an identical account (username and password) on both
machines and then login with it. Also, share a folder on both machines.

thanks for replying Clinton,

this is XP PRO. The windows firewall in not enabled.
The problem is between the two computers and not with a
P2P sw. Computer one can access computer two while the
computer two can not access computer one. I still havent
figured it out and I'm thinking I'll have to reload
computer one. I have talked to other techs and done what
they have suggested and the issue is still present.
