Wireless Networking - Wireless problems please please help...!

01-21-2006, 06:30 PM

I have a desktop connected to a netgear wireless router connected to a
broadband connection. My laptop connects to the router via a wirless
connection. Both computers are working and have broadband connection. I did
have them set up as a network with shared folders on each (mapped as network
drives), I re-installed XP on my laptop and now can't get the network to work
and so can't access files and folders on each other computer or the shared
printer. My workgroup name is the same on both. The desktop hasn't changed
and still shows both computers in the 'view workgroup comuters' option but
the 'laptop' gives the error message 'laptop-hsadasd is not accessible. you
might not have permission blah blah blah...' the laptop name is correct - if
anyone out there has any ideas please help it is driving me mad! Thanks very
much in advance.

Do you have a firewall installed If eys, try to set it in such way that both
computers in a trusted zone. Check firewall settings on both computers. Also
you can open network neiborhood and try to see computers. It is possible that
you need to log in on a network with a password. Good luck.
