I have a win2k machine that stores my files. I have a XP laptop that I need
to be able to access the win2k machine to transfer the files. Everytime I
try to access a shared folder on the win2k machine, I get a error message:
"You might not permissions to use this network resource."

Is there a way to fix this problem?

Both Windows 2000 and Windows XP are secure operating systems.
They demand an account name and a password before letting you in.
If you try to access the files on PC1 from PC2 then PC1 will
reject you unless you have proper credentials. In other words,
make sure to use the same account and password on both
machines. It's as simple as this!

I have an account on both computers that have the same user name and
password. Is there anything else I need to do?

Try this:
1. Start a Command Prompt
2. Type this command:
net use x: \\Win2000PC\SomeShareName

Type the correct PC name and share name. What response do you get?

By the way, turn off all your firewalls during testing.
