Hi:

I have a Linksys Wireless Router BEFW1154 connected to my Sony desktop and
a Toshiba laptop with Linksys Adapter for my Local Area Network (LAN).

I have two folders on each computer that I have selected file sharing (My
Documents & Local Folder). Previously I had no problems sharing these two
folders with each computer; however, now for some reason I cannot share my
Toshiba laptop folders with my Sony desktop. I can however share my Sony
desktop folders with my laptop.

Any ideas or suggestions as to cause and fix will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

Check your firewall settings on the Toshiba.

Hi:

I had Windows Firewall turned on with the Toshiba and turned it off and
still could not see shared files on Sony desktop.

Thanks

I thought you were already able to see shares on the Sony from the
Toshiba?

No help from this. Undoubtedly something is blocking the sharing from laptop
to desktop, but I don't have a clue.
