File sharing fails
Two systems on a network:
Desktop - win xp media edition, SP3 Laptop - win xp home, sp3 Unable to file share. Shares created on both systems. Sharing looking into laptop from desktop works often. Sharing looking into desktop from laptop almost never. Browsing network takes a very very long time - several minutes, and usually fails with "You do not have access bla bla bla". Desktop looking into laptop takes a very long time and then often works. Both systems have enabled guest account. Password removed from guest account on both systems. Both systems have guest account enabled via "Net user guest yes" command. both systems have static IP addresses. Both systems can ping each other reliably. Both systems have HOST file containing address of the other system. both systems have WINS address in IP advanced config pointing to the DESKTOP. How can I diagnose this? Any ideas about what the problem is? - thanks ww |
