help!!! cant get 2 pc's on a wireless network to share anything!using a linksys wireless router. Both pc's are running XP Home. They both connect to the network fine and can both access the internet wirelessly, but i'm having problems getting these pc's to share files. ive run the network wizard, set the shared file folders up to allow sharing and it still isnt happening. when i go into network places on my desktop and then click on "view workgroup computers, it shows the correct pc names for both pc's, but when I click onto the laptop name i get the following message.."\\(pc name) is not accessible. you may not have permission to use this network resource. The network path was not found". Now when i go into network places on my laptop and click on "view workgroup pc's" it wont show either of the pc names and I get the error message "(workgroup name) is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this resource. Contact administrator to find out. The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available". By the way, I did correctly set up the workgroup name and the pc names. Im obviously missing a step or 4 here. I have no clue at all. im not trying t set up some complicated network, just 2 pc's able to share files and a printer and internet access. If anyone might be able to point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful. please help!! Hi,
I have exactly the same problem you have. When you figure out a solution, or hear of anything, can you let me know??

an exception defined to allow Microsoft File and Printer sharing? I believe the wizard sets up that exception by default but it's a thought.
