Be sure both computers are using the same workgroup and that file and print sharing is enabled. Merely setting up a network does not start sharing. Assume you have right clicked on the folders you want to share and told them to share.

Salgolf, i have already done everything you said. Both computers are on the same Workgroup ("MSHOME") ...
mapping does not work. one machine wont let me get into MSHOME window , saying it isnt accessible or it mitght have no permission bla bla bla , and the other one shows both computers (which means it detects a connection between these two) but wont let me get into the other one (with same message saying "//COMPNAME is not accessible, or might have no permission" ...
Thanx for your replies so far .. any more ideas ?
