Today I decided to network my desktop and laptop computers. Here is how it
is setup.
Line in to Cable Modem
Line from Cable Modem to port #1 on a 2 port Speedstream Router
Cable from port #2 on a 2 port Speedstream Router to the in port on a 5 port
hub.
Line #1 to Desktop
Line#2 to Laptop
I have set both computers to “Share this folder on the network†with the
Share Name C:
The names of each are correct and the locations are correct. The Desktop can
see the Laptop, but the Laptop cannot see the Desktop.
It reports “You might not have permission to use this network resourceâ€.
File and Printer sharing are turned on.
MS firewall is turned on. (I have tried turning them off.)
Speedstream router has a firewall, which is turn on. (I have tried turning
them off
Both units can get to the internet without a problem.
I can ping the Desktop through IP and by name.
I can see the Desktop on the Desktop.
What am I missing?
