Home network won't work

Hi,
I have to computers both with XP pro.
I wireless internet on both and have set up a home network so both computers
can share files and a printer.
I have a folder that I have set up to share with other computer, however
when I try to access the folder from the other computer I am told that i do
not have permission and should contact the administrator.
Can anyone help.
Thanks

Have you set permission in Security tab? Or this search result may help.

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

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