Hi all,
I have Linksys adsl gateway that connect my two computers together, I can use the net on both PCs ,and can view both of them when I check workgroup computers.. but the problem is that one of the computers can't access the other one .. for example : Computer "A" can't access computer "B" but computer "B" can access computer "A" and view the shared files on computer "A" !! when I try to open or explore computer "B" I get this error message (\\**** is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the admi of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

The network path was not found.)


After I turned the firewall of on the pc "B" ..I got "connect to **" login window asking me for a password?!

I'm able to ping the pc vise versa ..but I still can't open or explore the pc files!!

Firewalls are turned off on both computers!

can u help me on this ?

thanks
 
well you must have a user set up on pc B. When you goto access the pc B and it asks for the user name and password, then type it in.
Another simple way to avoid this is to ensure that both pcs have the same users with the same passwords setup on both of them
 
Both of pcs are vaio laptops with winxp sp2 ..I didn't create any user profile.. and when the login windows pops up it shows only the password place blank..I can't change the user name.

both of laptops have the same settings .. but PC "B" can access the shared folder of pc "A" !

i think that assumes he shared the root though

Actually no, thats the admin root access.. it will prompt you for a login and password.. And who really has an admin pw set? So the login is administrator and no pw.... Learned that one from playing around the network at school...

Yes that is network admin access to the c drive.
 
when I try to use this //192.168.2.2/c$ it directs me to msn search results !!! I couldn't manage to connect !

Will network magic software solve this problem? ?

thanks
