IT Queries: Computer problems answered

I’m trying to share files between Windows XP machines. When I try to access anything on the computers I get an error saying “You may not have permission to use this network resource”.

I’ve shared my folders but still can’t seem to access anything?

There’s a number of issues that can be causing it. Microsoft have a comprehensive run down on the common causes for this problem on their website.

If none of the solutions on that page fix the problem, you may want to check if you have a firewall blocking the file sharing service. If you do, you’ll have to allow file sharing or add your network to firewall’s trusted zone.
