Networking and File Sharing ProblemsI have a Sony desktop with Linksys wireless router BEFW1154 and Toshiba laptop with Linksys Adapter. Everything was fine until today when I went to check File Sharing with the desktop and it did not show sharing the two folders (My Documents & Local folder) for my laptop. I can check the File Sharing with the laptop and it shows these same two folders on my desktop which I also have file sharing with no problems. Both these folders on both computers have File Sharing settings. In trying to correct this I might have added a further problem. I still can connect with both computers to my cable ISP Comcast with no problems. However, on the desktop it now shows for Local Area Connection Connected, Firewalled and Device Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection. On my laptop it shows Local Area Connection, Network Cable Unplugged. Device Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Internet NIC. Previously I am sure that my desktop showed the Device the same as my laptop (Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Internet NIC), but now different devices are shown. In addition, previously I had only one Local Area Connection icon showing in my laptop with no red X and now I have two icons showing one with the rex X and the other without. One other item of note is that my laptop now shows Wireless Network Connection (2) and Device Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (2). I don't recall it indicating the (2) like it's a reinstall etc? Hopefully someone can get me straightened out again. Thanks, ColTom2 Hi
The number tow does not indicate two connections. It is just a form of ID. Many modern Desktops have two Network card (usually onboard), and most Laptop have Wire and Wireless Network cards. It is hard to know which one you relate to. This might help to find the reason for the trouble. http://www.ezlan.net/debug.html http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) Show quoteHide quote "ColTom2" <noemailaddr***@nomail.com> wrote in message news:%23xTOby3SJHA.1164@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Hi: > > I have a Sony desktop with Linksys wireless router BEFW1154 and Toshiba > laptop with Linksys Adapter.

I solved the Network Connection double icon problem in the Taskbar by disabling LAN. However, I still cannot share laptop folders with desktop, but can share desktop folders with laptop. Hopefully someone has an answer to this. Previously I could share these folders with both desktop and laptop without any problems. Help!

Yes I can ping my laptop from my desktop. I have messed with so much today that my head is all turned around. Any more suggestions?
