said by tlarkins: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.
