Re: Node Type - XP Home Small Network Setup How-To tlarkins, I know you stated in your earlier post that you had disabled your firewall... but man, it really, really sounds like what you get when a firewall is enabled and blocking somehow...
Would you double-check to make sure it is disabled, after the steps above, I would have thought for sure you'd be sharing by now.
I think you already did, but make sure file & print sharingis checked.
Now, just to make us happy, create a NEW account on both PC's with the same name called "newaccount" or whatever, but make sure it's completely different from the other account names you've been messing with, and make sure they have the same password. |

| windows xp firewalls for both systems are disabled
file & print sharing are enabled for both systems
both systems have new accounts and passwords that match identically (this was a royal pain)
status unchanged though.
could my router be the problem? i mean, i am using wireless for my laptop...could the router be denying access? i have looked, but haven't seen anything screaming at me. |

If the router was denying access, you would get a "cannot be reached" error. You're getting "access denied" which means that you're getting through.
Do both of these systems have the same "Node Type" when you run IPCONFIG /ALL?
