Hi - I'm 55 and computer illiterate. Please help. Computer A connected via
Linksys router to DSL modem via ethernet cable and has Linksys USB wireless
adapter. Computer A can access Computer B's files just fine. Computer B has
same Linksys USB wireless adapter. Internet sharing works perfectly on both
machines, but Computer B cannot access Computer A at all and icon for A does
not show in network places. A is running XP Home, B is running XP Pro. LAN
icon for Computer B is crossed out on icon tray, saying a cable is
disconnected but since this is a wireless network with the adapter and
internet running fine I don't know what to do. When I run Network Wizard on
B it also points out that the LAN is disconnected and does not show the
wireless network as a choice. Network troublshooter unable to fix the
problem. It is important for me to be able to get Computer A's files for use
on Computer B but I have tried everything I know. Please help, there's
homemade soup in it for you. Thanks, PAULA
