Ive set up the sharing on the folders i want to share on both the laptop and
the PC and all are visible on the PC and laptop however when i click on a
folder is says:

\\\john\my Documents is not accesible. You might not have permission to use
this netowrk resources. Access is denied.

I am the only user on the PC and laptop.

any help appreciated

I have encountered this problem a few times - I often find that
changing the network name resolves the issue as a last resort.
Also, since you are only sharing between 2 computers, you could simply
map the drives on each rather then browsing the network for them.
(My Computer - Tools - Map Network Drive).
