Wireless Network w/ XP & ME

[Doug]

I have a desktop running XP Home and a laptop running ME.
The desktop is hard-wired to the router/AP and the laptop
is connected via wireless. Both are abl;e to share the
cable modem with no problem. However, I have been unable
to set-up a home network between the two. ZThey can't see
files pr the printer. All componets have file and printer
sharing enabled. When I run the networking wizard, it
creates the workgroup but does not see any components
connected. I am unable to access the printer that is
connected the deskptop. Sometimes, the wizard creates a
bridge that won't even allow me to share net access.
Help!!! (please)

Try setting up a user in your ME machine with the same
name and password that you use on the XP machine....
Should work fine.

When you run the wizard choose This Computer Connects To The Internet
Through Another Computer On My Network Or Through A Residential Gateway
Don't enable ICS (Internet connection Sharing) and leave the ICF (Internet
Connection Firewall) OFF until you get the network running.
Be sure to put a firewall (ZoneAlarm) on when you are done.

Hope This Helps
