[Guest]

Hi

I create a little network on my home, I have one desktop and one laptop my
laptop has a wireless connection, my desktop is connected to a router by a
cable and my laptop by the wireless connection, I'm able to connect with both
computer to internet, but i'm not able to share files, the computers are not
seeing each other.

I join both computer to a workgroup : MSHOME.
I share the directory C in both computer

but I still have a problem

I don't know if somebody can help, or just tell me where I can found
documentation about creating a home network , and create a workgroup

I can help diagnose your problem, if you will provide ipconfig information for
each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is
NOT checked!, copy and paste entire contents into your next post. Identify
operating system (by name, version, and SP level) with each ipconfig listing.

The most likely problem is that a firewall is blocking access.

Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on both computers, and tell it that they
connect to the Internet through a residential gateway (router). That
will make sure that XP's built-in firewall doesn't block access.

If you've installed a software firewall (Norton Internet Security,
McAfee Personal Firewall, ZoneAlarm, PCCillin, etc):

1. Make sure that it's configured to allow access by computers on the
local area network.

2. Disable XP's built-in firewall.

Hi steve

I disabled , the firewalls but it didn't work, and I start the Netwrok
wizard on both computers but I didn't be able to fix the problem

even I open a user in the desktop for the administrator of the labtop with
the same user name and password that he use to access the labtop but it
didn't work

thanks

Hi Chuck

Sorry for the delay, but i'm writting from work:

OK, Hermione, no sweat.

Take the following code (everything inside the "#####"). (Did I get the names
and ip addresses right)?

Copy the code, precisely as it is keyed, into Notepad. Ensure that Format -
Word Wrap is not checked.
Save the file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root folder "C:\".
Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
Wait patiently.
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.
