hello everyone
gotta problem with sharing files over a wireless network.
i have two computers, a PC the host and a laptop.
i wish to share files from the PC to the laptop, i have followed all the usual stuff, it all looks fine, i can access the laptops file from the pc but when i try and access the PCs files a warning box comes up saying i need to contact the administrator to see if i have permission. both computers accounts are set as administrator. i have had help from two seperate IT technicians and they have been no help.
i would be seriously greatful if anyone could help me.
an early thankyou for hopeful help.

the only things i know to try are to set file sharing and make sure each computer is set as an administrator, i have tried to view the files by using the command and \\computer name but that also brings up that i need admin to help.
