HI, I tried to connect two win 8 developer preview systems via Ethernet crossover cable. I can see the shared folders from both PC but can' t access them:
" WINDOWS CANNOT ACCESS \\PC\SHARED FOLDER
You don' t have permissions to access \\PC\shared folder. Contact your network administrator to request access."

PC 2
