I'm having trouble sharing files between computers. I have a desktop running XP pro and a laptop running XP media center. I have a crossover cable connecting them. They are in the same workgroup.

When I view the workgroup I can see the other computer, however when I try to open it, I receive this message.
" is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

the network path was not found."

What am I doing wrong?

You can try this. Make a folder or choose any folder on both Pc's follow..... right click/file sharing. You may be asked some sort of security tag ignore that and go for share file anyway. check box for read and write rights. click OK. follow this on both the PC. This will solve your problem. The problem you faced may happen when we connect PC's over a LAN and put files for sharing first time. good bye.....
