File share problem urghhhh

Hi,
Winxp pro both machines, 1 laptop 1 desktop. The laptop is the wireless
client . Sharing the Cable modem is a breeze. Sharing files I get the ever
popular "permissions" dialog.
On Both: I have turned off all firewalls,turned off simple file sharing (I
want it that way) I created a computer account on the desktop for the
laptop. Not a user account. Isn't the computer account all I need?
Thanks
Frank L
Only weird thing is the user name on both pc's is the same, but I wouldn't
think that matters

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.

Thanks very much for the help. Suppose I wanted to start from scratch, is
their anywhere I can look for a guide to do this? I mean like remove all
reference to the present network and start all over.
Thanks again

Hi
If you take out the Network card (or disable an Onboard one), and boot the
computer the Network would be gone. Insert the card back and you would start
the Network from scratch.
