Can't set up file sharing!

[Harris Paltrowitz]

Hi all,

I just set up my home wireless network yesterday, and I got the
DSL-internet sharing going, but I just can't get Windows file sharing
to work.

- I've run the Network Setup Wizard on both computers...
- I've put both computers into the same Workgroup...
- I can see the main computer's name on the second computer underneath
"Microsoft Windows Network", but I can't access it...

I just don't know what else to do. Of course, I've shared both C:
drives, and I even created separate shared folders, but neither are
working. Microsoft's support pages didn't help either...

I hope someone can help me! I must be missing something simple. I'd
really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
Harris

Control Panel/Network Connections folder, rightclick Connection icon, Properties,
