Can't Access LAN Folders

I'm running two XP Pro computers on a LAN. Remote Desktop works between both
systems. When I use My Network Places to view either of my LAN computers, I
can only access the Shares Folders but nothing else, including My
Documents - it's telling me I don't have permissions. What I'm I not doing?
I did use the Small Home or Office Network wizard several times.

Help please.

You may want to create the same username on both computers. Or this search
result may help.

I made the change you suggested - both computers now have the same username.
Using Windows Explorer, I can now access all folders on my LAN computer but
I still cannot copy a file from one computer to the other, says I don't have
permissions!!

File sharing is on. Removed firewall still have problen.

Suggestions please.

Jim

Make sure you also assign permission in Security tab.
