Default Having trouble with my linksys file sharing


Ok, this is kind of wierd.. I am setting up two computer network in a small
office.. I really only need to share two or three files used by Quickbooks..
My internet connection is coming through my Linksys wireless router fine, but
I am having trouble getting the file sharing to work.

The best I've done so far is to have the computer attached to the router
read the files on the secondary computer, but I have been only able to get
the secondary to recognize that the main computer exists.. not access it. It
has either said "network path not found" or that I may not have permission"
I have exausted my resources HELP!!

Also previously before we upgraded to XP we had a network drive which we
used for sharing the Quickbooks files, would it be easier to set up a network
drive for for this, and if so how.

Thanks!!!

Have you run the Network Setup Wizard?
Your machines must all be on the same workgroup. So you set up your network
and give the workgroup a name like "My Office". All your machines must then
be pointed to "My Office" workgroup.
