I'm sure I'm missing something really easy here:

I've got two desktops and a laptop that run through a
LinkSys wireless router. They work perfectly. I'm trying
to add another laptop and I can connect to the internet
after running the network wizard, but I can't see my
shared drives/folders. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, Wes: I ran into a similar problem recently. Forgive
Click to expand...
me if my "fix" seems obvious, but here it is:
The XP Connection Wizard automatically turns on ICF
(Firewall) when it finishes. In order to see shared
folders on a LAN, Microsoft stated that ICF has to be off
(Network Connections / Right-click your LAN + Properties /
Advanced).
I hope that was it. Regards, Dan H.
