After doing something like six hours of searching, and getting minimal results, I thought I would ask some of our more experienced dopers for some help.
I am running windows 8 on desktop, and xp pro on laptop. Both are connected to the same workgroup and have sharing enabled. At the moment, I can peruse the laptop from the desktop, but while the laptop can see the shared connections on the desktop, I cannot access them, a pop up box saying you dont have the required permissions check with system admin.
Over the last couple of days, I have spent like about 4 hours on google, looking for a solution. So what could I have missed and or what should I be looking for on my windows 8 permissions set up.
