I have reinstalled XP Home (SP3) on both my laptop and pc and am usinf the Windows firewall software set up for file sharing. (I am using Avast avirus)

I have established an 812.11n wireless network and can access the internet on both, ping both ways and see all shared files both ways

My problem is, the pc can access all files on the laptop and the laptop can access all files but the movie files (which it can see) on the pc I get the message that I don't have access to the folder.

One thing I have noticed, I opened PC Start>Run and put in the Laptop IP address and saw the shared files but the Laptop cannot find the pc. which is weird as it can ping it.

Also, it was suggested that I edited the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

...look for a DWORD "restrictanonymous" and see what the value is. If it is anything other than 0 (zero), right click the DWORD, select MODIFY and change the decimal value to 0 (zero).

But both pc and laptop were already 0.

Thanks in advance for any help.
