I have a desktop and a laptop going through linksys router. I ran the XP
home network setup and clicked all the default buttons during the process
that said "other connection." I even did a system restore, started over, and
used the network setup disk to run it on both computers.
I have a backup folder on the Cdrive of the desktop and one on the laptop.
So I then shared these folders by rightclicking on them and going into
properties. The result is that the folder on my laptop comes up immediately
and is shown on the network. I can access it just fine from the desktop.
However, nothing on my desktop will show up and I cannot access the backup
folder on it even though I followed the same process of setting up the
network on the laptop.
Why does the laptop folder show but not the desktop and what can I do? My
desktop is the comp with the big hard drive, so I am wanting to drag and
drop from my laptop to my desktop. That is the one I really need working.
Any ideas or suggestions?
