Thread: My home network sharing not working

I have an Asus desktop having Windows XP Home and a Dell laptop having Windows XP Professional. I have cable broadband supplying a wireless modem. The desktop is attached by ethernet to router and laptop. My printer is attached to desktop. Both PCs can access the internet.

I have set all PCs and my printer to sharing but when I attempt to access printing from my laptop, or attempt to access shared folders on my desktop PC, it says I do not have access authorization. I can see my desktop when searching my Workgroup but it won’t let me in.

hi,all

Turn off any firewalls for debugging. If the firewall is the difficulty, you have to organize it to permit access to "trusted zone" addresses.
