    problem with accessing and shared folder
    « on: August 09, 2007, 05:26:47 PM »
    hi
    i have 2 PCs in my home. PC A is in my room and PC B in my brother's room
    PC A have 2 onboard lan card(lan card 1 and lan card 2) and PC B have a lan card.
    i have adsl modem for connect to internet.both PCs have same OS(win xp sp2).
    i made a home network with cross over cables.the adsl modem is connected with PC A (by lan card 1) and PC B is connected with PC A (by lan card 2).
    both PCs can ping together easy and both can use internet easy.
    my problem is here that:
    when i shared a folder in PC A and i shared a folder in PC B also.both PCs can see other PC in "my network places"
    PC A can use shared folder in PC B
    but PC B cannot use shared folder PC A,when i use PC B and i click on shared folder(PC A's shared folder) i receive this error:
    "" PC A is not accessible.you might not have permission to use this network resource.contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.                  the network path was not found.      ""

    The problem you may be experiencing could be caused by your firewall settings on PC A.

    What firewall software are you using on PC A?
