OK, (new to networking), I set up a LAN with two XPpro PCs. Used a Crossover cable and both are connected at 100mbps.I also ran the Xp Networking Wizard on both PCs....set on as a PC using the internet connection and the other(PC2) using the LAN to access the others DSL.

Now my Problem:
When I go to "View Workgroup Computers" in "My Network Places" it shows the two networked PCs. (PC1 icon and PC2 icon, as I named them. The Workgroup is called "HOME".)

I'm using PC1, when I try to click on PC2 it says: (And vice versa using PC2)

"you dont have the appropriate access right for this server. For more information, contact your network administrator" (Which is me!)

How do I enable these access rights?

PS. File share isn't working, I think solving this will fix it. Also, Internet Sharing doesn't work, but it did when I first created the LAN.........

Hi there,
If I remember rightly, once you've run the network setup program on both PC's, you should do the following on BOTH PC's:
Go in to the Start Menu > Connect to > View All Connections, and right click on the icon that says Local Area Connection 1, (or what ever you've named it)
From the right-click menu, select Properties and check the box labelled File & Printer Sharing.
When you've done this make sure you go to My Computer on EACH PC and right-click the Drives and Folders you want to share, close all screens, reboot both PC's. That should do it!
Keep us posted!
Dave
