Just got my new comp back, so needed to setup my network again. However i had formatted the older one, so had to run network wizard again. Unfortunately i can only view/access files from OLD to NEW, i can not access my files on the older comp on the new one. it says access is denied. what must i do to make it work again? I have run the wizard a few times on each and nothing!
i think that it is becuase the old pc hasnt got the circled sharing packet thing! how do i install that?

EDIT: i fixed the file sharing thing and it did not work!
thanks in advance!

I recently found a good how-to document on fixing File and Printer Sharing. Check it out here. Let us know if this helped you out or not.
Did we help you? Did we miss the point entirely? Update your thread and let us know.

Do you have Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) enabled on either machine?
See if you can browse the other machines shared files by refering to its IP address in explorer. Use the following format "\\ipAddress", such as "\\192.168.1.101". If it works, you should see the shares available on that system.

also, even when you shutdown ZoneAarm (ZA) it often leaves a utility running called "vsmon.exe" - once you've disabled ZA (temporarily, for troubleshooting) go into taskmgr, check the processes tab and make sure vsmon in no longer running (ie, it's no longer listed).

@chris
thanks but nope...doesnt get in! doesnt do anything. "windows cannot find" in explorer and "filename or syntax incorrect" in command prompt!
@einstein
thanks, i checked for this and didnt do anything. but ZoneAlarm asked me to apporve the network the first time (when it was working), so im not sure its that (but originally i thought so)!

Make sure that both pcs have File and Print sharing turned on (a checkmark next to them)
Make sure that XP's firewall and any other firewall, such as ZA, is turned off (it would be quite adviseable to make sure the network is physically unplugged from your ISP while your doing this troubleshooting, at least when you have the security features on the pcs disabled);
ping from the old pc to the new pc & post results
