Need expert advise on setting up small office network!?


I have a wireless broadband, the PC is connected to the Access point and rounter (direct with LAN Cable) and Notebook is connected to internet with WiFi. Both are on XP. I have tried the following:
1. use network setup wizard.
2. turn off the firewall (on both computer)
3. Setup computer name and work group name.
4. Click some file to be "Shared" and click printer as "Shared"
5. I can see the other computer on "view workgroup computer" but when i click on the other computer it show

"\\computer xxx not accessible, you might not have the permission to use this network resource, contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission. The network path is not found"

Please help!

Thanks for you all reply, but those step seem very technical, frankly speaking i am not a computer expert...can you guy be more specify like go control panel, click xxx, then check xxx, etc...? thanks a million!

Both computers in the same work group. Common user account on both computers. Set a folder on one computer to enable sharing. The other computer should see that file and access it. Make sure the wireless computer has the same encryption key as that of the router.

Check the wireless networking forum and FAQ on dslreports.com for addtional tips and info.

Send me your email address to mjlorder@aol.com and I'll see if I can write up a set of instructions for you. But did you have a chance to go through the FAQs and tutorials on dslreports.com? Report It

You are screwed. Like me.

You either have the permissions wrong on the one that you can't access or you have a firewall problem.

If it is permissions you need to go to the security tab on the shared resource and make sure that you have permission to it. It would only give you the error you got if you had no access to anything at all (printer or file shares).

The firewall is probably on the one you can't get to also. I know you said it is off, but make sure what you turned off is the only one. You could have Norton or something else on it and actually have two firewalls. I have seen Norton Internet Security block file shares even after it is installed, not just turned off. They have a tool on the website that is supposed to clean up after an install, but that still doesn't get everything. The only thing you can do is go through the registry and get all the keys left behind out. That is not a safe thing to do, but it is the only thing that works.
