Simple Network Problems

[Guest]

Hello. I am out of ideas on how to make my network work. Here is the layout.

Wireless router connected to a cable modem. Comp 1 running XP Home SP2
connected to the router via network cable. Comp 2 connected by wireless card
running XP home SP 2. I tried the home networking wizard and still nothing.
Please, if possible, give me step by step instructions on how these computers
can see each other and share a printer. WHen trying to view network I get a
MSHOME home error saying it is not accessible. Please help.

PS - I visited these sites and made some progress. Read below the link to
see where I am standing now.

Hello. I made some progress. The computer that is hard-wired into the
router can see the other computer, but when clicked on it says it is not
accessible. The computer that is wireless cannot see the other computer at
all but can see its own files. When I try to view workgroup computers I get
a MSHOME is not accessible. What can I do? I need this computers to be
networked asap.



Thanks

Did you turn off all firewalls to see if that allows access? Have you shared
something? I have the same setup as you and can share printers. The
firewall can cause lots of problems so make sure that it works without the
firewall first.

All firewalls are off. Any ideas?
