Problem sharing network on my laptop/ home PC

[Guest]

Hi I'm having a problem networking my 2 computers using a wireless router,
Netgear DG834G, I can access the net using my laptop, wireless connection, my
desktop can access the net no problem. My main problem is that after I run
network wizard on both computers and look in 'my network places' both
computers detect each other but if I use one computer to try and access the
bother get a warning saying ' home computer is not accessible, you mighht
not have permission?'

This is generally a misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall, but there are
other possibilities. Start from this article:

If no help from the above, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from
each computer, and we'll diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely:

When to compared to the other respondents, I'm a very new
rooky. When I set up a two-computer Ethernet LAN I had no
"...you might not have permission" message until I installed
service pack two on the notebook, which was sharing its
files. Both computers had two accounts displayed in the
welcome screen. After SP2, it was necessary to have a
password for the account to be shared and the other computer
had to enter the account name and password in Map Network
Drive. A blank password does not work. --David

Chuck, similar problem, had to system restore today and problem is back?
My laptop can see and access my desktop but my desk top can't see or access
my laptop?same info attached

OK, now it gets a bit tougher I fear. Neither browstat or ipconfig show any
problem.

# Both computers are on the same subnet, 192.168.0/24.
# Both computers are getting DHCP settings from the same gateway / server,
192.168.0.1.
# Both computers are in the same workgroup, Home, and both see each other.

Let's see if we can find any symptoms.

Take the following code (everything inside the "#####"). (Please verify computer
names and ip addresses).

1. Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight
then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is presented, and Paste (Ctrl-V)
into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary.
2. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root
folder "C:\".
3. Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
4. Wait patiently.
5. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and
ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.

Do this from both computers, please, with both computers powered up and online.
