file and printer sharing problem

[patriknilsson]

Hi,
I have a desktop netwroked with my laptop using a Wlan. both win2kpro. The internet connect share works fine. But I can not access the HDD from one or the other. If I try to open the HDD on my desk top from the lap top I get the following error message:

\\computer not accessible.
Logon failure: the use has not been granted the request logon type at this computer.

I have the same username and password on both computers. I have also enabled the "share this folder" option.
Both computers also have the same workgroup
The Wlan, is adhoc mode, same ssid.

What is left to do to enable me to share the drives?

When you go into "My Computer" do you see little hands under your Local disk "C" ? If not, right click your C drive,select "Sharing & Security" and check "share this folder on the network". That should do it. Works for me.

Also, each computer needs it's own name.

Hi Trudy,

I did enable the "share this folder option", both computers also have their own names. Still stuck. It seems to be some sort of security issue.

I also tried to create a new share, but since I use the same name on both computers, it tells me that the user I try to create is already created.

thanks P

How many users you got on both computers? Sometimes, logging off and relogin-in helps.

HI jeresimo,

I have 3 on each: Administrator, guest and main user.

Do you mean rebooting on the same user? or
Log off, logon using a different user, then log back on with the regular main user?
