I am trying to network my Desktop Computer and my Laptop
Computer in order to transfer files from one to the
other. I have a cable connection that is attached to a
Linksys router. I have checked the Local Area Connection
on both the Desktop and Laptop and both have the Client
for Microsoft Networks, QoS Packet Scheduler, File and
Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks and Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) installed. The Desktop is using
Windows XP Pro and the Laptop has Windows XP Home. Both
computets have been manually configured with an
individual IP address in TCP/IP. Both have the same
workgoup name. I have turned the security and sharing on
the drives I want to be on the network. When I go to Map
Network Drive, Desktop sees itself and the Laptop but not
the shared drives, the Latop does not see itself or the
desktop or any shared drives.
