Network sharing and internet access simultaneously?

[DaveC426913]

I can't seem to get my two computers to see each other on my network. Both computers have direct access to the intenet via a Linksys Access Point / router and DSL.

I'm at Add Network Place Wizard and I know the name of the target computer (VIRGINIA) and a shared folder (temp) on it.

When I type \\VIRGINIA\temp it alerts me with

A dialogue box appears and says The folder you have entered does not appear to be valid. I've double-checked the names - I'm pretty sure it's something else.

I assume your running windows and have run the "Setup a home or small office network" on both computers?

Then you need to set access rights to allow folder browsing/sharing across the network.
