Can't Share Files
lHi,
I've managed to get my desktop and wireless laptop to log on to the new Wireless ADSL Modem/Router/Switch. Both can access the internet through Router but can't get either to see each other to share files. Both are XP. Desktop is crossover connection to Router while laptop is Wireless. What next please. TIA J.J. =?Utf-8?B?Si5KLg==?= |

Re: Can't Share Files
J.J.,
You should be using a straight through not crossover cable, from the router to your PC. -- Add MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com Rich/rerat (RRR News) <message rule> <<Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate>> "J.J." <> wrote in message news:4A4DA287-8355-4BBC-B91B-... lHi, I've managed to get my desktop and wireless laptop to log on to the new Wireless ADSL Modem/Router/Switch.

Re: Can't Share Files
It's ethernet and it works so I might have described it wrongly in first
post, sorry. Can you help?

Re: Can't Share Files
one last question, though windows firewall is on, on both PC's, do I still
need to reload zonealarm to both and will I need to turn on encryption (WEP) on the wireless connection? TIA J.J. "J.J." wrote: > Hi Carey, > your instructions did the trick.

Re: Can't Share Files
You do not need zonealarm. Just use the Windows firewall.
As for WEP, yes, I would encourage you to enable it.
