i have setup the network b/w two computer both running winxp pro.

the client machine can see/access folders shared on the host machine.
and can access internet through the host machine.

on the host machine, when i click to view workgroup caomputers. it sees the client machine and unable to access any shared folders on the client.

it takes saying 'access is denied' (you might not have permission to use this network resource. contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.)

i didn't set any restriction when i setup the network on the client machine.

can anyone please help? what should i do now?

thx
