Hi,
I have a wireless home network setup for my laptop and PC.
I put both the laptop and PC in the same workgroup, shared the folders I wish to access when I am on the laptop or PC I can see these folders through network neighbourhood and access them fine.
However I cannot copy files from the laptop to the PC. When I do this I get a message 'cannot move, access is denied' (or very similar, not at home at the moment to give the exact error but definitley says access denied).
The strange thing is if I copy a file from the PC to the laptop I do not get any errors and the file copies over with no problems.
These files I am trying to move are within a shared folder and this is not due to the size or fomat of them as I have even tried moving a small text file and get the same problem.
I'm not sure how to resolve this.I have unchecked the 'use simple file sharing' option under folder options which I saw on a site somewhere, again this has made no difference.
Is this a problem with permissions, or has anyone had a similar problem and any suggestions to resolve this?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

right click the share on the PC...choose sharing and security. Click sharing tab,click permissions button and make sure full control is enabled for "Everyone" then click security tab and make sure "everyone" has full control there as well"
Security shouldn't be a big issue as long as both computers are behind your router/firewall.
