Home network file sharing failure

[John Bartley K7AAY]

XP Pro, Spack 2, on a Dell Inspiron 8200 and Airlink101 3026T 802.11g
card w/ (WPA-PSK security).

I can share files on the home LAN from another Dell laptop, but never
this one.

File Sharing is enabled, and I can see the printer on the home LAN.

When I go to Network connections and Right-click on Set up a wireless
network for a home or small office, I get

error loading wzcdlg.dll

What's gone wrong with file sharing here?

Best regards, and thank you.

PS - I can't see this laptop from the LAN even though I've set Shared
Documents are sharable. I can see the printer on this LAN from the
laptop. Turned off ZoneAlarm and made sure Windows Firewall stayed off.

Hi John,

I saw somewhere that re-applying SP2 fixes this?
Hope that helps.

Is your workgroup the same name on all PC's ?

Yes, I did confirm that.

File Sharing is enabled, and I can see the printer on the home LAN.

In this case you don't need to run the wizard, which is for establishing a
wireless connection, and you must already have one.

Check in the wireless properties to see that File and Printer Sharing is
bound to this connection.

Also in a commandprompt type 'net share' to see if you have local shares. If
not, create one by rightclicking a folder.

Other thing is that turning firewalls off is not always successful. You may
need to create a rule to allow access to ports 137-139 and 445 from the local
subnet.

Oh, and if there are any Norton/Symantec products lurking in the
system-tray....

Wireless Network Connection shows File ad Printer Sharing for
Microsoft Networks is checked.

Huh?
However, the other laptop has access OK, so if you are talking about
changing something on the router, that seems not to make sense.

None.
