Thread: Cannot access laptop from desktop

Dear All,

I am using BSNL Data One BB connection at home. I got the Siemens SL2_141 wireless router, the one with 4 lan ports.
My desktop is connected via one lan port and in my laptop i use wireless. Problem is when i try to access my laptop from the desktop via \\laptop-ip\c$ , i get a pop-up error message which reads "No network provider accepted the given network path." and thats it..i am unable to access the files in my laptop.
But i can ping the laptop ip successfully from the desktop.

Guys, plz help me out get rid of this problem.

Thanks in advance,
Troy.

check the firewall settings in both your PC and Laptop also to see if fire sharing is allowed

sorry dilip but that didn't help
file sharing is allowed in both the machines & i have tried accessing with the firewall disabled, but still the same problem.

do other shares work properly?? apart from the C drive share

no prash, i just cannot connect to the laptop...even if i share some folders and try accessing by \\laptop-ip , i get the same error msg.

@onlytanmoy
Please mention the OS used in Desktop and laptop.

do you have any firewall like zonealarm running?

the OS used in both the machines in Win XP....i have firewall like Kaspersky Internet Security in desktop & Symantec firewall in laptop but as i said before i have tried accessing with the firewalls disabled but still no luck.
