Question : Error: \\pc name is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource...Access is denied." When trying to access a share.

Hello, First of all I have to tell you I have read most of the information about this in more than 100 users question.

I have 2 PC's on a network (pear to pear with a croos cable). One is a desktop and the other is a laptop with Win XP professional with SP2

1)The  laptop can see the desktop on the network under "view workgroup computers" but when I click to enter I can see this "pc name is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource...Access is denied."

2) The Desktop can't see the view workgroup computers. When I try to acces I can see  the error "pc name is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource...Access is denied."

I Have tried:

- Repaired the IP address
- Panda and microsoft firewall disabled (even tried uninstall)
- Both PC's have same users with no passwords
- Run local security policy editor from control panel admin tools and set the local policy, Network Access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users, to enabled and make sure guest account is enabled not as secure
- install the 'file and printer sharing for microsoft networks' protocol !
- Both PC's have the Guest a/c enabled.
- Share level: For the required shared directory: under properties, sharing, permissions: "Everyone" is listed (on the PC that cannot be accessed).
- I have made all the changes that I have read about the "local security policy" and know I dont remember all.

In the desktop I have one broadband conexion connect by an USB cable. this use one IP address. The address for the pear to pear home network is 150.100.100.10 and the laptop 150.100.100.20

If I click in Obtain IP address automatically I see an error "the cable is unplug"

Any suggestion?

Therefore when you ping the desktop (192.168.0.1) from the laptop you are getting a reply, right?
But you still cannot connect to the Internet. Very odd. Perhaps I should see the results from "ipconfig  /all  >C:IP.txt" when run on the laptop. That will tell me if the DNS and gateway are configured correctly.
Thanks,

If you want to check. You would normally do this on the laptop with DHCP, but you are saying it's not working. So set the following (1st 2 you have already done):
IP=192.168.0.2
Subnet mask=255.255.255.0
Gateway=192.168.0.1
DNS1=192.168.0.1
DNS2=
