Hi all.

I am currently using US robotics wireless networking adapters between my laptop and my desktop (which has a broadband connection).

Windows XP SP2 on both.

The problem I am having is that from the laptop I can use the broadband connection, printer sharing and file sharing on the desktop but I can't view the shared files on the laptop from the desktop.


I have checked firewall settings to ensure that the shared documents on the laptop are actually shared and i have also (temporarily) disabled the firewalls on both computers yet the problem persists.

I have done a google search for anything similar but i havnt had much luck can you guys give me any pointers of anything else I can do or check?

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Brett

 

you got this box ticked on the laptop network card settings???

 

Yes mate. Anything else I can check?

 

Mmmmm that was just a bit of a guess because i had some probs with it, maybe the computer bod's will be able to help.

 

Thanks for trying anyway.

Ive got it working now. Told it not to share, it then took it away from the local network and then retold it to share, when it returned to the local network everything was fine.....windows huh??
