>Hi everyone.
>
>I have spent the last week or so trying to get my PC and my laptop to
>share one measly folder. I just need to copy the files from one huge
>folder to the laptop, although I would like to make them share with
>each other so I can share other files in the future. Here is the
>problem:
>
>PC Name: Kostyo1 (Windows XP Pro 2002, Service Pack 2 on a Compaq
>Presario)
>Laptop Name: Sir (Windows XP 2002 Media Center Edition, Service Pack 2
>on a HP Pavillion)
>
>I bought a CAT5 Crossover cable and I have connected the PC and laptop.
>Under, "Network Connections," the Local Area Connections on both
>computers say, "Connected." On the laptop, a new "Internet Gateway"
>subhead pops up and shows a new Local Area Connection, "Kostyo1" and it
>says connected. Nothing similar shows up on the PC.
>
>When I try to click on, "View workgroup computers" on the laptop, I get
>the following message:
>
>"Mshome is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
>network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out
>if you have access permissions.
>
>The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."
>
>When I click on the same thing on the PC, I can see the laptop in the
>network. But when I try to click on it, I get the following message:
>
>"\\Sir is not accessible.You might not have permission to use this
>network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out
>if you have access permissions.
>
>Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type
>at this computer."
>
>I have turned off all firewalls. On the PC, I have McAfee, which I
>disabled using the services.msc command in "Run" and then disabling all
>McAfee processes. On the laptop, I disabled Norton Internet Security.
>On both, I disabled the Windows firewall and unchecked the firewall
>boxes for the specific connection. Both computers are on the MSHOME
>workgroup.
>
>I have tried to change the local security policies on the laptop, but I
>can't allow the PC because the laptop can't find the network.

>Here is my ipconfig info:
