I have a Netgear wireless network in my home connecting 2 computers, a fixed
box and a laptop, to the internet. I have tried to setup file sharing
between them; the fixed one reads the files on the laptop but the laptop
says "Unable to browse the network. The network is not present or not
started." They both are running XP Home and I followed the same procedures
on both to set them up.

Please Help!

"Unable to Browse Network"

Symptom: When you attempt to browse your network by opening Entire Network
in My Network Places/Network Neighborhood, you may receive the following
error message: Unable to Browse Network.

Check Lists: 1) have you loaded the NIC or is it working?
2) have you loaded common protocol, TCP/IP?
3) does the Computer browser work?
4) have you enable file and printer sharing in the accessed computer?
5) is the workstation service running?
