2000Pro Home network

[Guest]

I have three computers connected through a wireless router ... an XPHome
desktop, a 2000Pro desktop, and a 2000Pro laptop. All three can access the
internet through the router. XPHome and 2000P laptop can see and communicate
with each other but not with 2000Pro desktop. When I attempt to query the
workgroup from 2000Pro desktop, I get "RWG is not accessible. The list of
servers for this workgroup is not currently available." (RWG is the workgroup
name).

Any/all help will be greatly appreciated.

Is "File and Printer Sharing" bound to the connection? Control
Panel|Network|"connection"|Properties

Hello,

I'm having a similar problem, but am starting from deeper ignorance. (I've
hunted for THE ANSWER, with no luck.)

What does it mean for file and print sharing to be bound to the connection?
In Win2000Pro on my desktop, when I go to the network connection properties
window and select File and Printer Sharing, my properties button is greyed
out.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

At this point the box only needs to be checked in order to bind "File and
Printer Sharing" to the connection.
