No permission to access Laptop on network
I know this has probably been covered previously but I haven't fixed my problem yet.
Desktop PC (Windows 7) talks to the old Laptop (Windows XP).
I've just bought a new laptop with Windows 7, configured the Network to MSHOME, set up partitions to share & given access to everybody.
The Windows 7 laptop can see the Desktop & XP Laptop and view/exchange shared files - so the new laptop must be connected to the network.
The problem is that I can't access any shared files on the new laptop from either the Desktop PC or the old laptop - states that I don't have permissions.
If I view a shared files on the Desktop, it shows this as a shared file at the bottom of Windows Explorer whereas on the new laptop it doesn't.
I've tried everything but still can't access the new laptop.
Any ideas - I must be doing something wrong.
Setting up the Desktop was plain sailing and went without a hitch.
