I have just set up a WLAN between my XP Home & W2K Pro
machines using a DSL 604+ wireless ADSL Router. I have the
internet connection sorted (which I though would be a
problem due to the attitude of my ISP) and both PCs access
the internet independently. On my W2k PC I can see and
share the XP shared folders- however, the workgroup cannot
be accessed from the XP PC. I cannot even see the W2K
machine or workgroup on the XP PC.
I set up accounts with the same user name and password on
both machines, created a "Shared" folder on W2K, granted
(what I thought were) all the relevant permissions on the
W2K PC, but still this final part eludes me. I have tried
adding a Network Place, but I get error regarding server
permission.
I realise that permissions can be rather byzantine in W2K,
but if there is something in the security policies etc
that will resolve this I have missed?
(a few tutorials have helped, but most are aimed at XP-
98/ME rather than my combo)
