up with home & small office network.I am able to access the share files from
desktop to laptop.But unable to access the share files from laptop to
desktop.The error message is :

permission to use this network resourse.Contact the administratorof server to

the laptop I click on My Network Places,and click on the desktop workgroup
icon to access the share file,again I receive the mentioned error message.

There's a registry value that can allow access to a specific shared
folder but deny getting a list of all of a computer's shared folders.
On both computers:

1. Run the registry editor.

2. Open this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA

3. Set the value RestrictAnonymous to 0.

Then, reboot and try accessing each computer again.
