Hello Jón Frímann,

Please excuse my excessive verbosity.
But this [inability to understand networking permissions/rights] upsets me.

You have given me the best description of all
how this stuff really works.

Can you also tell me why, I can not access
the WIN7 machine folders from the WinXP machine ?
I always get a "Access Denied response" saying I do not have
the required permissions to make the link even though
I am administrator of both machines ??

The WIN7 machines sees everything shared upon the Winxp Machine.

The Winxp Machine will see the WIN7 machine but can
not make any connections via XP to the Win7 machine
without "access denied see network administrator for a solution" error.

I am the administrator but do not know how to get the
Winxp machine to Interact with the Win7 one.

Here is how I transfer files.

1. create a shared folder on the Winxp machine.
2. establish connection between both machines.
3. use the created folder as seen remotely from WIN7 machine.
4. Can only copy/paste files to the resident shared folder within WINXP.
5. WINXP will not go into WIN7 folders even if they are shared with [ everyone ] permissions.

The firewalls do not seem to be the problem.

Winxp is simply being denied permission to use Win7
and nothing I have done will change that.

Do you know what's wrong here or how to correct this [ACCESS denied]  problem ?

NOW The priceless question;
What is a sure way, VIA LAN CONNECTION, to get the remote use of a shared folder, located on a Win7 machine ?

Thanks for your replies.

Regards,
geoff

Hello all,

I am sorry for late response. But I have been busy.

When networking home PCs you need several things. An switch box to connect
the computer together with cat5e (or cat6) cable. Twisted pair Ethernet
cable is normal for this. Crossover cable is only good if you want to link
together switch boxes (sometimes you need this. But not always) or twisted
pair network cable.

If you want to connect your local network to the internet you need an
gateway. That can be your ADSL router or your cable internet router.

It is also important to use correct IPs when planning home network. The
most common IPs used for home network are 192.168.0.x (x is any number up
to 255) and 192.168.1.x. This are known as local IPs and are not routable
on the internet. If you are using IPv6 this does not matter, as your PoP
is going to assign you the correct IPv6 on your local network.

In all Windows, MacOs, Linux and *BSD systems this is supposed to happen
on automatic basic. You don't really have to do anything if your gateway
supports DHCP server (for IPv4). That should allow you to automatic
configuration of all the computers on that network.

If there any need for port opening. That is done in the gateways firewall.
But configuration method are different between manufactures, so I am not
going to go into details here.

I hope this answers the question that have been asked here.

Regards,
Jón Frímann.
