Hi,

I have 2 pc running Win2k. Had no problems sharing files and printer via a
wire network.

Just recently add a wireless network card on the client pc. After that,
cannot see each other in "Computer Near Me". Error message comes up and says
"Workgroup is no accessible. The list of servers for this workgroup is not
currently available". Both pc can access to internet and can ping to each
other with no problem.

Any idea on how to share files with the newly added wireless network card?

Thanks
Edwin
 
what do you receive if using net view \\remotehost? if it is system error 5, this is permission issue; if it is system error 53, this is name resolution issue. this step by step troubleshooting may help, http://howtonetworking.com/Troubleshooting/notaccessibale0.htm
