hello
I was trying to build a network between two of my PC's but I had some
problem in that.
I am having two laptops and two desktop PCs.
1st laptop is toshiba satellite A45-S121 having windows XP home edn.
2nd laptop is IBM thinkpad having windows XP professional
both of the desktop PCs have windows XP professional
I am not using any hub/switch because I just want to connect only two
computers so that I can share some large files.
1) When I run the network setup wizard on two laptops making IBM as host and
toshiba as client it worked fine. I can share files as well as internet.
2) when I try to connect laptop with any of the two PCs making PC as host, I
can only share the internet or I can play multiplayer games but I cannot
share the files. When I click on the view workgroup computers, sometimes it
shows me the other computer and sometimes not. But when it shows I cannot
access the other computer, it gives error that "\\computername is not
accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource.......
The network path was not found."
I have tried all the tricks of disabling firewall, enabling simple file
sharing in folder options and all stuff which I found on microsoft web site
and other web sites but could not get through it.
I think its the problem of some settings as I said I can share files and
internet with two laptops.
I will be very thankful if anyone can help me and tell me step by step
procedure to get through this problem.
