Shared drives

[Guest]

I have two computers that are networked using Windows XP Home. On one of the
computers(A), I can access the shared drives from (B). But from B I cannot
see any of the shared drives of A. Can anyone help me out with this problem?
Thanks

Normin,

Did you enable the Guest account on Computer(A), using Start - Run - "cmd" -
type "net user guest /active:yes" in the command window?

Do you have any firewall on Computer(A)? Firewall configurations are the most
common causes of file sharing problems.

If no help yet, please start by providing ipconfig information for each
computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
Identify operating system (by name, version, and SP level) with each ipconfig
listing.
