Cannot Access My Own Public Folder

Hey,

Me and my brother have recently both reinstalled windows vista home basic on our fairly new laptop computers, I went to access my brothers public folder by going to Network then \\ GAMES1-PC\Public (Already setting up no user account control, password sharing and public folder sharing enabled.) It wouldnt connect and asked if i wanted to diagnose the problem, I then tryed to access my OWN public folder by going to the public folder on the side and it accessed fine but when I tryed going through Network \\ GAMES2-PC\Public It wouldnt connect and asked if i wanted to diagnose.

My brothers computer has been doing the same thing and we really dont want to reinstall.

Thanks in advance

Can you see the other PC in each computer's Network and Sharing Center?

yes and my friend seemed to fix it, apparantly what happened was when i had norton 2007 on my computer it wasnt allowing access and when i uninstalled it I forgot to change the setting back before hand, I loaded norton 360 on and fixed the problem using that

thanks

Glad you found the answer - I was going to suggest firewall settings next, but needed to see that particular answer first to determine whether to attack firewall settings or look elsewhere.
