I have a home network using a router. My desktop (Win98)
is wired directly, my laptop (WinXP)is via wireless.

I can connect "to" my laptop from my desktop and share
files and print but I can not connect from my laptop to
my desktop. When I try to map the drive I get a network
does not exist or you do not have authority.

Any help would be appreciated.

One-way networking is usually caused by a misconfigured firewall
program on the computer that can't be accessed.
