File Sharing Problem

I have a PC called Mars and a Laptop call Venus both using XP Pro SP2
Wireless network using Netgear Wireless ADSL Router. Both computers are
Workgroup and the IP address is assigned automatically. Venus and Mars have
their own wireless cards, and both connect to the Internet OK via the
Netgear ADSL Wireless Router.

File sharing on both is on, and I have setup shared folders on both
machines. Firewall is set to allow file and print sharing.

Venus can see the shared files on \\Mars, but Mars cannot see \\Venus. Error
message "\\Venus is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Blah blah..... Search finds Venus on the network, but
I cannot get any further.

What is missing???

Lunch was nice;

Tainted roadkill tail and aardvark ulcer vinegar accentuated with marinated
jellyfish innards with garlic seasoning, simmered in a chilled skillet chock
full of home-grown whole celery and rhubarb with croutons of kelp in fruit
juice, a side of yellow pepper and a cup of saliva.

Make sure the user you are logging in with exists on the other computer
with rights to the shared folder.

Can you supply more info?

Make sure your user account exists on both computers and that the account has
permission to access the shared folder. Which part do you not undertand?

If you are logging into Computer A with the following:

Joe
pass1

... and you are logging into Computer B with the following:

Ed
passY

... make sure each user and password exists on the other machine so they
can be properly authenticated to access the share.

You can add user accounts in Control Panel, Administrative tools, and
Computer Management. From there you will see a users and groups
category. You can add from there.

HE HE HE HE,


This should be employment test question....
If you've set up the permissions right, try enabling the Guest account on
the second machine!
Give "everyone" read permission.
