Okay, I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router and I have one computer hooked up through ethernet and one laptop hooked up wirelessly..
OS: Win XP SP2 on both
I used winxp home networking on computer and joined "workgroup" on the computer
I found the wireless connection on laptop and connected and joined "workgroup" on laptop
I did not set any static IPs I just left that alone..
The problem Im having is I share out my whole C: drive on both laptop and computer and I also shared out individual folders and files and made them all changeable by all users..
When I go to my network places and browse to the workgroup "workgroup" then browse to the computer from the laptop, it gives me access denied when i try to open any of the shared folders... when I use my computer to go to my own shared folders... i still get access denied oddly enough..
I do not know why..
The laptop can access its own shared folders when it goes through my network places but computer cannot ..
niether the computer nor the laptop can access the others files because they get access denied...
ive done this before and had no problems the only thing i can think of is that i have downloaded some windows update that added more security but i just have no clue what
anyone know?
