file sharing with windows XP

[titanmiller]

What am I doing wrong, I can only access certain directories of Windows XP machines from across the network. For example I cant get into the Windows directory. It gives me a box that says "//computer/c/windows is not accesable, access denied" Is there an option that I can select to be able to shair all folders?

BTW, this is over a wireless network

ICF); disable any active Virus scan or any other utility that might intercept Network Traffic.
