Folks -

I have a client with a peer-to-peer network. 6 PC s are
running Xp Pro. All have firewall off, authentication off,
printer and file sharing loaded, the shared documents
folder is shared with full control for Everyone, and the
Guest account is on.

4 of the PCs can have their shared folder accessed with no
problem. 2 of them cannot have their shared folder
accessed by any other PC.

Does any one have a solution for this?

TIA
Tim Thomas
