Default Can't Access C Drive of another Computer in the same Workgroup

Hi Guys,

I have two computers networked on a Linksys Wireless Router. One computer is
a desktop running Windows XP hardwired to the router, the other computer is a
notebook that is wireless, also running Windows XP. Both computers can access
the internet to browse and send emails.

The notebook computer can access the desktop computer C drive and I can
view and change folder and files if I desire. But, when I’m on the desktop
computer I see the notebook computer C drive but when I click on the notebook
C drive folder in my network places, I get the following error message.

\\notebook\C drive is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact your Administrator etc. etc.

I did share out the C drive on the notebook and desktop computers. But I
can’t access the C drive of the notebook computer. Both computers are in the
same workgroup.

I hope someone has some ideas on how to solve this problem.

Thanks for any help!

Dick
