File sharing thru wireless network?

Question

Ok well i set up my wireless network,i can see both computers from either. On the computer B, i can see and access the computer A,which includes all the files and programs. On A, i can access only the my documents from the B,nothing else. It tells me that it is restricted. I checked the share settings on B,and it is checked on. What am i doing wrong? I tried researching online,but cant find an answer.

Answer 1

Check the file permissions on the folder your trying to access. There may be tighter restrictions placed on the users trying to access those files.

Answer 2

I would think it is in your security settings on B. Check to see what it is set up at. You may have to do some more researching or go into a newsgroup and ask questions.. or someone on Yahoo may know exactly what the problem is.. good luck

Answer 3

There are 2 types of file sharing in XP, I suspect you have enabled file sharing with user/group permissions:
