I'm really stumped with a networking problem.
I have a PC with XP Media centre and a PC with ME, with a peer-to-peer
wireless network between them.
The wireless network cards are working fine - they can both see each other.
Both PCs have unique names and the same workgroup name, but neither will see
the other.
When the wireless network is connected My Network Places on each PC only
shows itself - i.e. each PC cannot see the other. I've also tried it with my
firewall on and off - no difference. I've also tried setting the main PC as
a wireless access point - same result.
I've been through all the online help texts I can find, and been through
Home Networking For Dummies from cover to cover, but cannot sort this out.
They all tell me that I should be able to see both PCs in the workgroup, but
I can only see one on each.
Anybody who could point me in the right direction may save me from tearing
out what is left of my hair. (I've been trying to work this out for a week
now)
Cheers
Mike
