File sharing problem with XP, Please help!

[markjs]

When I first set up my 2 PC home lan (crossover cable), with my 2 XP Pro machines, when I told it to share the hard drive on the network, it worked 100% (all folders were accessible). Recently though I had to re-install XP on one machine because I had to upgrade the hard drive, and ever since it will not allow either machine to access the other machines Program Files, or My Documents folders no matter what I do! I have spent a lot of time trying to get it to work properly again and with no success, even when I tell the machine to share the folder specifically. I am at wits end, please someone help!!! Thanks in advance.

It would be nice to have an error message or something.

It sounds like a permissions problem, though.

Make sure that, on both computers, you have the same username and password for the account you use

or

Enable the guest account on the machine you're trying to access.

Hope this helps

just like he said, make sure you have all the permisions set up right on each drive and folder that you want shared out
