Have a look at your sharing permisions on the pc's. Set permisions to read for everyone.
Another place you can have a look is to see if you guest accounts is not disabled in Computer Management(Dont know if this will work for Vista, it worked in XP)

Lemmy know how it goes

First of all, get rid of Norton360....something that brings all other software to a halt, is not the way to go.....lets take it from there

I cannot seem to connect my Laptop to my Desktop. The thing keeps on saying: you might not have permission to use the resource.

Getting very frustrated with Windows XP.

In vista make sure your network is set to HOME, and not public or office. or it will block you off.

If it's XP just run the setup network wizard again, and make sure the share file and printers is ticked. even if it is, do it again! and you will see for some reason it comes right.

but only after a restart, for both after you have changed settings.
