Problem migrating WinXP SP3 to iMac on Yosemite

I am trying to migrate a WinXP machine to a new iMac, but can't seem to get the pc to connect to the iMac.  When running Migration Assistant, the conversion fails due to "Insufficient permissions to connect to.....".

 

I can access pc files via Finder on the iMac and the pc can see the iMac via Windows Explorer (it is listed in the Workgroups folder), but I can't connect to it.  Have checked all the Windows settings I can think of but to no avail.


Odd things is that  the Mac Migration Assistant worked fine and transferred a load of stuff across. Plus I connected an older MacBook Pro running Fusion v5 to the same pc and migration seems to be working fine - I only stopped it since it was going to run for 11 hours.

 

Has anyone got anyone idea what I might be doing wrong in setting up the pc to Mac sharing?
