Ever since service pack 2 on windows xp, I found networking a bit harder.

netbios is enabled on both network connections (main pc & laptop)

obviously Ive ran the network setup wizard

I have enabled the Guest account on both PCs

With the Laptops Guest account enabled my main PC can access the laptop's shared files

With simple file sharing enabled and guest account enabled, the laptop can "see" the main PC but access is denied, and this also prevents the laptop from using the shared printer which is the real aim.
