I have a homeserver PC and a Laptop. Both are running WinXP Pro.
From the Laptop, I am able to transfer files to the PC. From the PC
I can only view the C: drive of the Laptop, but cannot access the drive.
I have gone thru the 'Folder Options', and made sure that I have a check
mark on 'Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)' on the Laptop & the
PC both. Still I cannot transmit files from the homeserver PC to the
Laptop. Is there any easy way to fix this?

Appreciate all the help.

P.S. I do have ZoneAlarm Pro & Norton running on both.
Turning off both of them didn't help.

Instead of turning off the firewall, try uninstalling it. Some firewalls do
not disable correctly.
