    That stupid Windows network error..why?

    So I have a network set up between a laptop and a desktop. The laptop is wireless, the desktop is hard wired. They both have ips, they both have folders shared. Everything logically should work except I get the error that "I am unable to view because I may not have access, blah blah, contact your admin." I know I have access, because I didn't set it so I wouldn't have access. This really makes me mad, because in theory, it should be working no problem what so ever. Any ideas?

    (I've restarted many times, checked ips, restarted the router...don't know what else to do.)

    Are you sure you are using a username (with password!) that is in the oher machine? and viceversa

    Well each machine has there own user name and password to log onto the machine itself, but that should lock out file sharing.

    What I meant is, you will need to add the user from computer A to the users in computer B and add the user of computer B to the users in computer A. This includes password

    The same username and password you use on computer A you will need to add to computer B. The same for computer B

    For windows XP. Control Panel-->user-->add user. After you add the user, add the password.

    In summary, both machines will have both username and passwords
