Try to disabled the firewall on XP pro
I have two machines which running a XP home & Pro.
I have a wireless router, so the XP Pro is plugged into a port of the router by calbe, and the XP home is running wireless connection. However, when I share files, the "Pro" can get into the "Home", but the "Home" can't get into the "Pro".(showing a message of 'you may not have the authorisation to entry'- something like that). My both two machines have already installed "Files and Printers Sharing for Microsoft" and the workgroup is the same.
Is here any expert who can give me a great favour?
Thanks in advance!
