comp2 can connect using my network places, can access the root drive, my shared folder, and shared documents folder.

try to open program files i get the following message:
"\\comp1\program files is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

Access is denied."

what am i doing wrong here?

Thanks


Note sure if you have resolved this or not by now. But, if not (or for anyone else who experiences this), the problem is related to the default access permissions assigned by Windows XP to the so called "system folders" such as C:\Program Files and C:\Windows. You need to grant access to the Everyone user group. Check out Microsoft Knowledge Base Article Q308418 (http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;308418) for information on how to change the permissions.
