Network connection: problem with files sharing


I have my home network: computer A connected to Computer B through a router.
Internet works well in both computers, and the host (computer A) has access
to the shared files in computer B.
But the problem is when I want to access from computer B to the shared files
in computer A. When I click in “my network places” it prompts error, contact
to the administrator. If anybody knows how to solve this …please let me know.

The complete and exact error message would be very useful here.

One of the most common causes of your type of problem would be a misconfigured
or overlooked personal firewall, or other security component. There are several
other possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem. Read this
article with an open mind.

For more direct help, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem.  Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):

Very glad to help, Lyn, but you'll be helping both of us by starting a new
thread, with a descriptive and unique Subject.
