Hi,
This issue appears a lot in forums but I never seem to find the answer! I
have 2 PCs running XP, connected to Belkin 4 port router, whcih in turn
connects to cable modem for broadband internet. Both PCs can access the
internet with no problems, however, I cannot enbale file sharing between the
PCs. I have run the Networking Wizard, and set up unique names for each of
the computers, and a workgroup (the same on both PCs!). I have enbaled
sharing on relevant folders but the sharing does not work. I have tried using
ping to test basic connectivity, and this works OK from both PCs to the
router, and from PC A to PC B, but NOT from PC B to PC A. This is what I find
so wierd, and I assume is the root of my problem. My difficulty is working
out why I can ping from A to B, but not from B to A.
Any suggestions?
Thanx,
Robin
