last post..some progress

I have both PC's talking, however, when I try to access my "shortcut" from my
wireless laptop to the desktop of my Main PC, I get the following:
\\PC Name is not accesible. You might not have permission to use this
network resouirce. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
you have access permissions.

I have two admin accounts on XP Home SP2 (Main PC).
Please let me know how I can access my PC desktop from my wireless Laptop..
Thank you for any guidance

Bufhal,

This sounds promising. In order for this type of setup to work, they should
both be joined to the same Workgroup and you must have each machine setup
with the same account names and the same passwords. You normally cannot use
the Administrator account (which, sense you are using Home, is not a
problem). Please double check to make sure that these accounts are
configured identically and try to connect again.
