Hi, Im trying to setup wireless file sharing from desktop to dsktop using cable modem and wireless router. I can see the shared folder in the "ntwrks" screen but when I try to access I get: "'<file> is available but the user acct. you logged on with was denied access." Does anyone know how to change the permissions or whatever to allow access? I dont remember setting up any username and password on the either pc. Thanks

You might try turning off Windows firewalls in both machines -- plus any third party firewalls.

Thanks for the advice, that was the problem. As long as I have comodo, I dont really need windows firewall on anyway, right?
