I have a home network consisting of one desktop PC wired to my wireless
router, and two laptops connecting wirelessly. All can access the internet without a problem, but I recently tried to set up file sharing between them, but the laptops cannot "see" the desktop and vice versa. All the computers use the same workgroup, and I have at least one folder on each computer shared so I'm not sure what the problem could be. When I go to map a network drive the other computer does not show under the workgroup. What do I need to do to be able to share files/folders between the wired computer and the wireless ones? =?Utf-8?B?Sm9lIEI=?= |

Hi
Wireless is just a replacement for wire, if the wireless computer is capable to connect to the Wireless source every think else should work according to regular network rules. Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed to be shared. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040 Jack (MVP-Networking).
