I have set up a home network using a wireless D-LINK router connected to a hp
desktop pc and a hp laptop both can connect to the internet fine and can be
seen in the network map. I can get files off the laptop onto the desk top but
when i try to set up the printing from the laptop or get files from the desk
top by clicking on the icon in the network window I get an error saying
"windows cannot access desktop pc check the spelling of the name". When i
click on diagnose, it says "windows sent the request to the DNS server and
the server responded that the name was unknown". Both are set up in the same
workgroup and all print shareing settings are turned on. If anyone can help
that wouldd be great, I am just learning about networking so it is probably
something i have done or not done. thanks
