File Sharing Access Denied - Win XP Home between Win XP Pro

[pompa909]

I am trying to setup file sharing with two computers. The one has Win XP Home Edition and the other has Win XP Pro... I can access the Win XP Pro from the Home Edition but when I try from the Pro Pc I get an Access Denied. I have tried a few things with adding another user on the Home PC with the same username and password, I have tried to use a permissions software and set everyone on the Home PC. Please can you help me as I need files sharing for a program on the Pro Pc that needs access to a folder on the Home PC.

Please, Please Help....

Thanks in advance...

On each system:

View Entire Network and dbl-click MS Windows Network
you should see either MSHOME or WORKGROUP; which ever, dlb-click on it

BOTH system names should appear​

If both systems see both names, then the workgroup name (on each) is correct.
If not, make both systems use the same workgroup name: same 'word' and same
upper/lower case too!

The XP/Home ONLY supports Simple File sharing, so the XP/Pro will need to use
that option also!

Both firewalls need to enable Print/File Sharing.

Both systems need one folder Shared at least R/O.
