Setting up a Network using a Single Network cable

[Guest]

I am in the process of setting up a PC - PC home network using a single CatV
Cable. The Network is connected; however, I can see the shares of the
Non-Internet Computer (XP Home) from the Internet Computer (XP Pro), but I am
getting Access Denied, you may not have the Permissions message when I access
the shares of the Internet PC from the Non-internet PC. How do I get it to
see the shares? Is it because I am using XP Home on the one PC?

Mark,

It's most likely a misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall, or other
security component, but other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of
your problem. Read this article with an open mind.

For more direct help, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):
