Using Linksys VPN Broadband Router (WRV54G) with a Linksys
Dual Band Wireless Notebook adapter (WPC55AG) I cannot get
the desktop to see the laptop and vice versa. Both
computers are running XP professional. There appears to be
a good connection between the laptop and the router but no
data goes betweent the two. The laptop sees and connects
with the router (confirmed by the display of available
networks). I do not think the network connection is the
problem. The problem is after many hours of configuration
the two computers cannot see each other over the network.

I believe it is a software issue with XP. Spent about 10
hours with every possible help menu and I am out of answers.

Would like a step by step guide for setting up XP to send
files between the two computers. Any guidance would be
greatly appreciated.
 
If both machines are configured with firewall turned on,
then one may not see the other. Can you turn off firewall
protection on the laptop and try to access the desktop
again?
