Help!
I have Desktop computer running XP Pro SP2, a ASUS laptop using Vista
Premium(Utilising its own Wireless network adapter), a Netgear router and
Netgear adaptor on the XP Desktop. I can ping both computers from each other
and the wireless router from both machines from within command prompt, So
there is a link! Both machines access the internet fine, In order to join the
network, securely, I have used WEP with EXACTLY the same access key, works
fine, I can see both computers in the WORKGROUP on the XP machine and can see
both on the Network map on the Vista machine. However, when i double click
the computers, it says access denied, or on the vista machine, within the
network map, it wont even let click the desktop computer to explore it.The
problem is that I cant access files from one machine to the other, I used to
have the XP Machine linked to the router Via a ethernet cable (No wireless
adapter)and all was good, could see and access shared files on each of the
computers, access shared printer on the XP Machine from the Vista laptop no
problems, all my settings match each other on the network, the only
difference between the two is that one is running XP Pro SP2, and the other
is running Vista Premium.
I would appreciate any help, this is frustrating the hell outta me!!!
