etd2007 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I have set up a wireless network with desktop windows XP home and 2 laptops Windows XP Pro. All 3 can share and use the internet connection, but the laptops cannot see or share folders on the desktop or the printer on the desktop.Brank new NetGear wireless network and have followed all their instructions. The laptops can see the desktop computer, but not get to the shared folders or the printer.Any ideas?
ringfinger Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 You have checked "File and Printer Sharing" within the network connections? Any firewalls?
etd2007 Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 Yes, checked file & printer sharingThe only file wall is what comes with the Netgear stuff so that external people cannot connect via my wireless network
ringfinger Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) Can you ping the other machines from the console? Try setting up shares in computer management and set permissions.They are all joined to the same workgroup correct? Edited October 13, 2005 by ringfinger
