I set up my home network & everything works fine, BUT, I can't get the
files & folders from my PC to my laptop. I CAN get them from my laptop to my
PC though. I can see my PC in my workgroup from my laptop but I get this
messagewhen I click it: \\xxxx is not accessable. You might not have
permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this
server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied.

Danl,

One of the most likely cause of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, or other security component. There are several
other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem. Read this
article with an open mind.

Or 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!):
