Can anyone explain this:
I have a desktop and a notebook. The desktop gets its wireless capability
from a wireless router. The laptop has a wireless card, which is how it
connects to the internet- from the wireless router (D-Link AirPlus).
After I was able to network the two and share files, I noticed that the
desktop's files and folders were read-only, which I did not want. First I
tried to delete the folders from the network, then I found that disabling
the windows firewall allows me to make the files not read-only (odd thing
#1: the folders are still read-only, but the files are not... and neither
files nor folders are being shared).
Now that I ran the home network wizard to stop file and printer sharing, I
cannot access the desktop from the laptop. As I was doing that, I found (odd
thing #2) that a neighbor's computer is on my network now, and I can access
her files from my desktop, but not my laptop. Why would that be?
