Default File Sharing Problems with Windows XP

I have two desktops running XP sp1 and a laptop running XP sp2. From
either desktop I can copy files to my laptop but not from it. The same
is true from my laptop, I can copy to the other machine but not from it.
I’m using simple file share on all machines. I’ve tried un-sharing
and then re-sharing but that did not help. I hope someone has a
solution to this problem. If not, is there anyway to completely turn
off the protections on both machines?


Michael,

Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

Did you enable the Guest account, using Start - Run - "cmd" - type "net user
guest /active:yes" in the command window, on both computers?.

Are there any personal firewalls installed on either computer?

Cheers,

Cheers,
Chuck
