I am unable to set up a home network with a desk pc and a
laptop.Both computers are directly connected to a linksys
cable/DSL router which is connect to a Linksys cable
modem. They are all hardwired with ethernet cables (no
wireless). I have excellent internet connection from both
computers throught the router and modem.I am running
Norton Internet Security.
In "My network places" on my laptop I am able to see my
laptop computer and my desktop pc.
My problem is that in "my network places" on my desktop
pc I do not see my desktop pc or the laptop. There is
nothing there. When I click on "view workgroup computers"
I receive the following message:
"MSHOME is not accessible. You might not have permission
to use this network resource. Contact the admininstrator
of this server to find out if you have access permissions"
I am the administrator on both computers.
I have tried turning off Norton Internet Security but
this does not change the situation.
I am able to ping both my router and my laptop from my
desktop pc. I am unable to ping my desktop pc from my
desktop pc or my laptop. The request times out.
I would greatly appreciate any and all help. Thanks!!!!
