There doesn't seem to be any way to trouble shoot this problem because I
don't get any errors.

There is no network neighborhood anymore. After you run the network wizard
you want to look for the other computers in My Network Places.

But I don't have a My Network Places.
I've run the wizard 30+ times and get no errors but there is still no My
Network Places in Startup or anywhere else I can find.
 
if you are not seeing anything in network neighborhood do the following
comparisons

- Check the workgroup name on each machine
- Check the protocols running on each machine
- if the protocol is TCPIP then compare the IP address (run IPCONFIG from
the dos prompt)
- Verify all cables are correctly installed and the network card is not
disabled in device manager.

When you have done that and it still doesn't work, come back here and post
your results of the above items.

But it's cheaper not to get the help he wants here than to pay and not get the

I've been searching Google for 2 hours and can't find a reference to my
problem. I have no idea what to do.
Everyone says to look in My Network Places. Trouble is I don't have a
folder or anything else with that name.

Open Windows Explorer. My Network Places should show up in the left column
after My Documents.

Also, you can try putting My Network Places on your desktop by right clicking on
an open area of the desktop and selecting Properties > Desktop tab > Customize
Desktop... button and checking "My Network Places" under "Desktop icons."

What OS are you running?

My Network Places can be seen by Right Clicking your tool bar and selecting
Properties

Select the Start Menu tab > Start Menu > Customize > Advanced

check the check box that says My Network Places

you can also get to it through the Network Connections folder found in the
Control Panel.

It wasn't the OS that was the problem.
I did as you proposed and got the network folder into my start folder
I use XP but set it up in classic style years ago.
The last time I used networking was in Win98.
I just can figure out this XP setup.
The two computers are connected because one will dial the modem on the
other but I can't see either computer or share files on either one.
I just hate upgrading to a new machine!!!!
 
sorry about that. Go to Control Panel and click on Network Connections. You
should see "Network places" on the left hand side in the "OTher Places"
area.

I've solved this but have no idea how to get the computers to share files.
Both machines say the workgroup is inaccessible.
 
I'll have to pay someone to come out and swap out my harddrives because I
can't get these computers networked.

Oh well.
