I have a home wireless network, a "standard" one: the router is attached to
a desktop (XP) and I have a laptop (Vista) that is wireless. I print using
printer sharing on the desktop, so I know the laptop "sees" the desktop, at
least for that (or is it that the laptop sees the desktop?). That's
confirmed in My Network Places -- on the laptop, I see Documents and I have a
home wireless network, a "standard" one: the router is attached to
a desktop (XP) and I have a laptop (Vista) that is wireless. I print using
printer sharing on the desktop, so I know the laptop "sees" the desktop.
That's confirmed in My Network Places -- on the laptop, I see Documents and
Shared Documents on the desktop.
However, it doesn't work in the other direction: nothing on the laptop, not
even the laptop itself, shows up. However, if I click on "view workgroup
computers" in Start...My Network Places, the computer is listed.
I've already installed the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) Responder,
or at least I thought I did. I went through the MS KB document (KB922120),
but when I ran services.msc on the desktop, it wasn't running. Besides, I'm
not sure that service does what I want.
I've enabled file sharing, to allow all computers on the network to write to
the Shared Documents folder. However, when I try to save a document there
(from my laptop), it won't let me.
Any suggestions?
