Hi Malke
Back again. I though that I could manage without the both way working but
couldn't so I have re read your advice and have set up user accounts on all
of the laptops and main PC and called them all the same "Guest" I haven't
given them a password as it didn't ask for one but unless you tell me that
this is essential I at least have an open user account of the same name on
all of the PCs. However when I try to access the networking from some of the
laptops and from my Desk top to certain laptops I get the message "\\charlie
(laptop name)\is not accesssible. You might not have permission to use this
network resourse. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
have access permissions." What does this mean please Malke and what do I do
now? Thanks
Charlie
