Hello Friends,
I'm unable to share files between my PC and Laptop using Ethernet.
Desktop Computer
----------------
Windows XP with SP2
2 Ethernet Ports
User Account = Computer Admin.
IP Address = 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Defauly Gateway = 192.168.1.10
Preferred DNS Server = ???????? (Blank)
All the Partitions in the Desktop HDD are formatted in NTFS File System.
Computer Name = Desk1
Dell Laptop
-----------
Windows XP with SP2
1 Ethernet Port
User Account = Computer Admin.
IP Address = 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Defauly Gateway = 192.168.1.10
Preferred DNS Server = ???????? (Blank)
All the Partitions in the Laptop HDD are formatted in NTFS File System.
Computer Name = Lap1
I connected both the PCs with Ethernet cable.
I'm able to "ping" from Desktop to Laptop and vice versa.
Both the Desktop and Laptop are in the same workgroup.
I placed the Folder "Test" I want to share in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents
I Tried to access the "Desk1" computer from my Laptop using UNC Path (\\192.168.1.1) and thru the Workgroup as well
A new window appeared as user: Desk1\Guest , Password:
( Guest Account is "ON" in "User Accounts" and in "Local Users and Groups"-->Users-->Guest (I Enabled the "Guest" Account and Set a new pasword) This is done in "Desk1" computer.
Even after giving the correct password I got an Error Message and I'm unable to access the "Desk1" Computer.
I don't know If I've done everything right or wrong or I've missed something that should be done.
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanx in Advance.
