\\winxppc is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource
Why am I getting the following error when trying to access a shared folder from a Windows XP Pro machine on the same network. "\\winxppc is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource"?
Note: if I switch to Simple File Sharing our give access to "Everyone" it works fine. However, I need to authenticate by user name and password for better security.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?

update. There was a mapped drive to that shared folder on the same computer as the shared folder. When I removed it everything worked. Thanks!!
I assume neither of these computers is part of an active directory domain?
Are they both on the same workgroup?
Can you access the computer by putting: \\ip address instead of \\computername?

Note: I also tried adding the same username and password on both computers but that did not work.
