I have been trying to set up a home (wireless) network, but without success.
Using an ethernet cable I can connect my desktop and laptop such that I have
internet access available on the laptop, but I cannot access any shared
drives or the printer attached to the desktop. The problem appears to be
that when I look in My Network Places, nothing, not even the host shared
documents folder, is listed. This is the case on the desktop and laptop.
However when I have logged on as Administrator in Safe mode on the laptop,
the shared drives are there !!!
How do I make the shared documents folder, and other drives etc, available
to my network?
I have Win XP home on the desktop and Pro on the laptop.
I have at last managed to get an ad-hoc network (sort of) working, each
computer can transmit on the same wireless network, but as yet neither has
actually received anything over the wireless network!!!! ~That is problem
number 2.
Any help greatly appreciated
