home networking - Help please!

[DanPopescu]

I have 2 computers: one desktop and one laptop. Both connect to internet through a router. Everything is running fine. On desktop I have Windows xp SP2 pro and on the laptop I have XP SP2 home.
Both of them are part of the same workgroup. From desktop I can access the laptop but from the laptop I can't access the desktop computer.
I have the following message: "\\desktop_computer 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 permisions. Login failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer"

What should I do?
Thanks.

In my opinion, I would install WIN XP PRO on the laptop, if it new enough to do so. I feel that doing this would get rid of alot of the problems you are having!!!!!

to my understanding with XP home, you can't network the computer that is running it.
