I have two machines one on XP Home and the other on XP Pro.

They are connected to a Wireless ADSL Router. IP addresses are correctly assigned, Firewalls and Firewall software disabled/uninstalled.

I can see his computer and access a shared folder but he cannot get onto my computer. He gets the message 'Cannot access blah blah because you don't have the neccessary access rights'

I thought home networking was supposed to be easy!

Create him a user account on your PC with the same name and passwrod as the one on his. Add this to the access list for the folder and eees worko.

If only it were that simple

I have re enabled simple file sharing to try and sort this out...
