Hello all;
I have two computers I'm trying to network. The laptop is
running XP Pro and is connected driectly to a router. The
desktop is running XP Home and is also connected directly
to the router. Both machines work well with the Internet,
so I don't suspect a problem with the router.
I was able to use Network Wizard to create a home network
with the laptop. After the network was created, I was
able to use Windows Explorer to "see" the laptop on the
the network including any shared files and printers.
Now comes the problem. When I try to connect the desktop
to the netwok using Network Wizard on that machine,
Windows Explorer on either machine CANNOT see or find the
desktop. Apparantly, Network Wizard on the desktop did
not work properly for some reason.
Can anyone help??
