I'm running XP Pro on a Dell desktop and an IBM R60e. I get cable
internet to both with a NetGear wireless router. The desktop is
connected by ethernet cable, the laptop connects wirelessly. I haven't
had any problem connecting to the internet with either computer, but I
cannot get them to share files over the network. I've gone through most
of the basic steps: both computers are on the NETGEAR workgroup with
unique names, no domain of any kind; netbeui is installed and enabled
over TCP/IP. I've created identical accounts on both computers, and
I've allowed "Everyone" in the local security policies.
All that this has resulted in is that my desktop can now see my laptop
in Entire Network. I get the "List of servers for this workgroup is not
available" when I try to access any files on the laptop or to view
workgroup computers. My laptop sometimes sees the desktop in Entire
Network, but even if it does, it gets the same error message.
This is starting to really annoy me. Am I missing something?
