Default Did I do something wrong???

Maybe because this is my first time setting up Home Prem. for a peer-to-peer
network between two PC's? I have Discovery network turned on, and Share
folders wihtout th passwords, and for some reason or another I keep getting
this error after I can see the other computer.

"Windows cannot access \\Joe-pc\c"

check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with
your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose.

Is there is something I mised?

I mean, they can see each other, but can not acess the "C" drive in either
computers in order to read and open files up. Is there something else
blocking this permission? Although I believe I activated, turned on and apply
"ALLOWED" in the permissions, somehow or another it's still not allowing one
another to see shared folders.

Please advise?

Hi
Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local
traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should
be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers
on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party
Firewall instructions.

Hi Jack-

Both systems are using VISTA OS, no XP and Vista... not sure how this will
help... but, I can tell you this...
Public Folder Sharing is enable without password turned on, the same goes
for Printer sharing, and obviously Password protected sharing s disabled.

Maybe something else could be the issue here? Any other suggestions is most
appriecated.
