    Linked Access DB to SQL 2005 Express

    I have a two computer workgroup. On my laptop I moved Access tables
    to SQL 2005Express and linked them. I use Access as the front end and
    everything works from the laptop. Both the access files and the SQL
    files are in the shared folder. I have given Everyone user full
    rights to the shared folder. When I attempt to use my desktop to
    access the linked access files the following error occurs on the
    desktop:

    Connection Failed
    Connection state: 28000
    SQL Server Error: 19456
    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login Failed for user
    'Laptop\guest'

    The laptop SQL log file says:
    Error: 18456, Severity:14, State: 11
    Login failed for user 'laptop\guest'.

    When I attempt to use a SQL user that has admin rights to the SQL
    database from the desktop the same error message occurs.

    Environment:
    Laptop:
    XP Professional
    Access 2002
    SQL2005 Express- Mixed Authentication
    Simple file sharing is unchecked
    No firewalls


    Desktop:
    XP Professional
    Access 2003
    SQL2005 Express-Laptop SQL2005 database is registered

    Why can't I access the database from the desktop?
    Why does it only see it as 'laptop\guest' user?

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
