This looks like a great link and maybe a bit simpler than my process.

I tried all the suggestions by typing \\machine_name but it simply didn't work.... Anyway i got it to work by typing //ipaddress in explorer.... the problem now is one of the pc(laptop) pops up a window requestng for password when accessing it from the desktop
ASKER
Found out why it was asking for password.............
It's because the laptop wasn't sharing any files
Thanks

I think before you type in the name of the machine you have to leave the connection active for a while so they can get to know each other cos now it works
