Network Issue

[garykanuga]

I cant allow other computers to access my shared or public folders on a home network. I can access other computers shared files but they

cant access mine. It says Owner-pc (thats the name of the laptop) is not accessible. My vista desktop can also be accessed by my ps3 but not the laptop.

Im running home premium on a compaq presario v6000 if that helps and heres a link to another thread with pretty much the same problem.

Double check the permissions on the folders/drives you're trying to share. I had a file sharing issue recently where I couldn't access a shared drive. Turned out the permissions were all wrong.
