Sharing Folders XP to Vista Problem

[deltaden_86]

I read other suggestions posted herein and nothing so far has worked.
My problem: My PC (Windows XP) can see and access "Public Folder" on Laptop (Vista) but no other files on the "C" Drive. I want my entire "C" Drive folders on laptop available from my desktop. I get the "Access Denied" warning when I try to access folders other than the "Public" folder.
Now, the strange thing is that my entire PC Desktop is accessable from my laptop. Public folder and everything else.

I Checked all sharing settings, Network names the same, etc.

I am using Linksys 150. Desktop direct wire to Router. Laptop is Wireless.

Thanks for suggestions.

Did you share the whole c: drive? If not set that up for sharing and you should be good to go.

Yes, I have the entire C Drive set up to share with anyone on the network.

Have you checked firewall settings on both computers?
What os is your laptop?

My laptop is Vista Home. My PC is Windows XP SP2. I only use Avast as a firewall, and I turned that off on both PC and Laptop.

I also turned off Windows Firewall. Thanks anyway.
