This is the first time I'm trying to set up a Network, I'm using Windows XP on both this one and the Wireless Laptop (yes I know Microsoft is a pain) but I can't do it. Anyone want to help?
This is what I have so far, I set up a network with the wizard on the main computer, gave the workgroup a name and I did the same thing to the Laptop, gave it the same workgroup name and everything.
Now, when I go to the main computer and click on "Show workgroup computers" I can see both computers, but when I try to click on the laptop icon it doesn't let me saying that I need permission...
It gets worse, if I go to the laptop I can't even see the 2 computers on the "view workgroup computers" option, it says I have no permission and to go see the administrator for help... $%&#! I am the damn administrator ! :(
And another thing, I am simply trying to share the entire C drive from the desktop so that I can access it from my laptop. I don't want to share anything from the laptop. And by the way, I am using a router and it works fine. It has 64 bit encryption.
Who wants to help? :)
Edit: Also, if I change my mind, how can I erase the whole network set up and stop sharing everything without killing my internet conection network?
