P2P networking, file sharing and XP SP2
got a tiny problem with a network I'm trying to create - promise I did a search first btw.
I have three computers
(1) desktop running XP Home with no SP - Netgear USB Wireless adapter
(2) laptop running XP Pro with SP1 - wireless G notebook adapter
(3) desktop running XP Home at SP2 - connected to the hub with a cable
The service is Yahoo DSL through a 2 wire router.
So I got the hub renamed
I set up a named workgroup with all three computers in it, but...
(1) can only ping (2)
(2) can only ping (1)
(3) can ping (1) and (2)
I set up a shared folder on each machine with "allow users to change files" checked
When I expand My Network Places in My computer I get the following:
(1) permission error
(2) permission error
(3) I can see all three machines
If I remember correctly,
(1) cannot save a doc on (2) or (3)
(2) cannot save a doc on (1) or (3)
(3) can save a doc on both (2) and (3)
I did a shutdown and logged back on with a user with the same name and no password.
So my question is: why isn't file sharing working correctly? Is it something to do with SP2?
