Hi, just installed wireless network (linksys), now the pc can read and retrieve files from laptop but although laptop "sees" the pc i get a message stating that access is denied and to contact admin (me) have pinged both machines both ok, can access the web off either one ok. I have allowed file sharing on both and XP home on both machines (ntfs)
any help gratefully accepted:eek:

Try mapping a network drive via ip make sure you enter in the correct username and password.

1. Right click on my computer select map network drive
2. Under folder type in \\{Destination IP Address}\C$
3. Click on “different user name” enter in {Destination IP Address }\username and password
4. Click ok and finish
