From the article: Connect Two Home Computers for File Sharing
Networking two computers may seem like a simple task. However, even this basic peer-to-peer setup can be difficult to get working. Examples of technical issues you might face include
- finding the right network cable
- finding the other computer via wireless network scan
- lacking permission to access files on the other computer
Has anything gone wrong when you've attempted to network two computers? If so, how did you fix it?
Share Your ExperienceAccess denied error 0x80070005
- I can access files on my two kids' computers (one PC with WinXP and one laptop with Vista) but when I try to access my PC (the one directly wired to the hub running XP), I get the message "Access denied. Contact administrator = error code 0x80070005" My main PC is set up for file sharing.
