it shows me this message... ( \\ipaddress) is not accesible. You might not have permission to access this netowork resource. Contact the administator of this server to find out if u have access permissions. Access is denied.
both are on XP home edition.
thanks

i have unchecked the file an printer sharing for windows firewall on both desktop and laptop... i have also disabled them. still the same prob man....thanksThen you have no third party firewalls installed on either computer, as volcano11 inquired?
Then, let's try this...click on Network Places on your desktop computer? Then " View Workgroup Computers" Does your laptop computer appear in the window?

Yes, this a very common problem and is almost always due to imporperly configured firewalls. On any computer running Windows XP with SP1, disable the Windows XP firewall. It will not allow File and Printer Sharing. On computers running Windows XP with SP2, make sure that the Windows XP firewall has File and Printer Sharing checked off on the Exceptions tab. If you are running any third party firewalls, like those provided by such programs as Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security, or McAfee Security Center, make sure they are configured to allow local network traffic.
