I am trying to set up a network for a small business, but I can’t seem to get
is to work. I have tried everything I can think of and been unsuccessful. I
am hoping that someone here will be able to think of something I have missed.
We have 2 brand new computers running XP Professional, and they are
connected using a switch, though neither uses internet. I have successfully
run them both through the wizard to put them on a small office network, and
mapped the C:\ drive from the ‘Server’ as a network drive E:\ on the
‘Workstation.’ That was with Guest account privileges, though, which don’t
let you access Program Files. So I disabled Guest accounts on both machines
and remapped the drive, only to get an error message telling me I don’t have
sufficient permission to do this.
Since then, I have

-Made sure both computers are running on accounts with Administrator level
access

-Disabled ‘Simple File Sharing’ in My Computer—Tools—Folder
Options—View—Enable Simple File Sharing’

-Given full permissions to administrators using ‘(Right click on C:
drive)—Properties—security’

-Checked local security policy under ‘Control Panel—Administrative
Tools—Local Security Policy.’ I looked at both “Access this computer from a
network:” and “Deny Access this computer from the network:”

-Rerun the 'Setup Home'Small Office Network' wizard

I pretty sure this is not hardware (I can map the drive just fine with Guest
Privileges)…can anyone help me?

Lets see;
Given full permissions to administrators using '(Right click on C:
drive)-Properties-Sharing and security...| "Share this folder (checked) |
Permissions (button) | Add your administrators here, as well as on the
Security (tab)'
