2k to XP, access denied

[videobruce]

The XP box accesses the 2k drives ok, but the 2k box can only see the XP box. Drives aren't accessible.

Drives are set up to share. Ran into this before, but forgot what the issue is. Simple file sharing is setup on the XP box.

If WinXP is using Simple File Sharing the Win2k computer needs a Guest account, which isn't installed by default. Otherwise you could disable Simple File Sharing and create two identical account on both computers which you could use for sharing the files.

simple file sharing sucks

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed to be shared.
