Hello,
I recently installed Xp home on 2 of my computers, both connecting to a router via wireless. Used to have Xp Pro so not used to Home issues. The issue is that I am attempting to share files between the computers, and even though they can see each other when looking in "workgroups" I get the usual access denied error message.
This occurs when computer A attempts to access computer B, and the other way round. I live in a shared house, and I am able to access one of the other guys computers upstairs so I don't think its a router issue.
I have attempted to ping the other computer and get no response. I have turned off the windows firewall, deactivated personal anti-virus, turned on the guest account (as I have read this can be an issue with Home) and still get the same error. I have tried simple file sharing and advanced file sharing, both haven't worked.
I have even got a laptop with Windows xp home on it, which also cannot access any of the computers.
Really am running out of ideas, and looking round other forums / sites people have had the same issue, others have posted ideas to try but never have i seen an issue fixed yet.
Any advice would be great!!!!!
