Lost My Shared Folders

I have a small home network, and I had a network shared folder on the
desktop, and mapped to that folder on my laptops.

All was working great, until a couple of days ago. Now I cannot get to the
shared folder, says I do not have permission or some such.

The only change that I can think might affect is that I tried to setup an
FTP site on my machine (failed dismally). I have deleted that, although I
still have the IIS settings, but that seems to be the same timeframe.

Any suggestions as to how I can track down the problem. I have XP Pro.

TIA

Bob

Hi - try posting in microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web for more help as
this isn't a wireless issue - and provide more detail, such as exact error
messages, versions/SPs, whether or not you can ping, etc.
