Pro Pc can't give files to Home Pc
I'm trying to understand why I'm not able to place any
files onto a Home Edition from my Pro Edition that are physically connected by a 4-port switch. There are files that I have on the Pro Edition (PE) that I want to place on the Home Edition(HE). I'm not able to do it that way, but I can take them from the PE sitting at the HE. ???? Meaning If I am sitting at the PE and try to place the file into a shared folder on the HE, it won't let me do it and I get this error message entitled "error copying file or folder" Cannot copy my network places: Access is denied. Make sure the disk in not full or write- protected and that the file is not currently in use Now if I'm at the HE, I can navigate to the folder that resides on the PE and just take the file or copy it with no problem and place it in a folder on the HE. I have made an account on the HE that gives me access on the PE, and I have activated the guest account on the home so that the PE can log into it. There's nothing else that I have noticed about the connection that raises any questions, just this one topic. Could someone tell me what it is that I am missing here?? THANX N ADVANCE.

WHAT???? i mean... i'm not a MVP so don't trust me at 100% but i think there are some limitations on how XP home handle shares and network points. What i suggest is using an FTP server to share your files, without concerning windows logins, pass, shares and so on. |

Pro Pc can't give files to Home Pc
It's a permissions issues. There is no reason Pro and Home won't
network together. The problem is that Home and Pro has different tools for setting up permissions and networking. Home is supposed to simpler, but by removing the rich tools I think it's harder. I saw these four URL's posted elsewhere. Perhaps by reading information here you can get some insights: http://www.winnetmag.com/windowsnt20002003faq/ http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/homenetworking/ http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/winxpnetworking/ http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=813936 Also: re-run the XP Networking Wizard, and read the "help" in XP Home and XP Pro (realising they are diffferent). Hope this is useful to you. Let us know. rms Wayne B. wrote: I'm trying to understand why I'm not able to place any files onto a Home Edition from my Pro Edition that are physically connected by a 4-port switch.
