[Guest]

Hi, I have a network but I am having problems

I have two computers one with XP Home and one with XP professional the problem is that the XP Home computer can access files on the professional computer but when I try to access files on the XP Home computer from the professional computer I get a access is denied message! I do not know why! The computers are connected via a router so that the internet can be shared

Both computer can access the internet but I just dont know why my professional computer cannot access files on the home computer

On the XP Home computer do you have sharing turned on on
the folders you want available to the other computer?

Run the Network Setup Wizard on XP Home, which will fully enable file
sharing. That's usually all that's needed:
