Simple File Sharing problem.

[BoomAM]

Hi.
For some reason that i cannot fathom at the moment, my laptop will see the shared drives on my main PC, and their contents, but wont access anything on the drive, not even the folders.
So for example, on my music drive, i can see the 'Music' folder, but everytime i try to access, it says 'access denyed'!?

Theres probably something blindingly obvious im missing here.

Ideas?

Thanks in advance all.

Need more info, are both machines on the same workgroup, have you enabled file sharing on both machines, are you connected via cat5 cable, wireless via router or through a switch and is there any firewall installed or active on either computer ?

Both on same work group.
Both have file sharing on.
Connected by Cat 5e.
Through a router.
Worked in the past before i nuked the laptop.
And still access's fine on an iBook.
