Comment:

Hello all I have a laptop with w2k pro with wireless nic card connected to a parrallel port to hp5550 printer. Second computer had windows xp pro with wired card to router. I cant connect to w2k pro via windows xp pro.. I have w2k pro with admin/passord user and win xp pro with username/password I have file sharing enabled on wireless card and wired card, but I cant get windows xp to access shares on w2kpro or printer. Theres a permission thats not letting me access the w2kpro machine via winxppro, but i have the w2kpro with admin rights and full control... What the hell am I missing, this thing has fried me up mentally, thanks to all in advance!!!
