I have a HP desktop and a HP laptop. I bought a Netgear router, PCI card for
the desktop and a wireless card for the laptop. When I first set up my
little network, everything was fine. I could print from the laptop to the
printer installed on my desktop and could access files on each computer from
the other. At that time, I did not run Windows Network Setup Wizard. THe
laptop has always been WinXP but the desktop was ME when I set up the network
and then I upgraded to XP. When I couldn't access my network after the
upgrade, I used the Network Setup Wizard. That did not help. I tried HP
Online Help which didn't help and I have read a lot of the posts on this
group. I have tried so many things, can someone please help? I have
activated the guest account with no password, I have disabled the firewall (I
think). I just don't know what to do. I even went to the website with the
troubleshooter that has been referenced in so many of the posts.
