I'm setting up a small home office wireless broadband
connection between two computers. I've got file and
printer sharing enabled on my computer, but my
assistant's computer refuses to allow me to enable this
feature. So she can access my computer, but I cannot
access hers. I get the following message: "An error
occurred while trying to share C. The server service is
not started."

Don't know if it's related, but I also get a 'network
cable unplugged' message from my Local Area Network
device, though a check reveals the device is working
properly.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Open a command prompt and type "net start server", and post back with the
error code.
