I have a Westel Versalink DSL modem/hub. It is connected to my phone line
and my desktop computer (Win2k) with a network cable. It is has a wireless
connection to my laptop (WinXP). I have DHCP enabled. I do not try and
force a static IP address. I can see, ping and tracert (1 hop) the laptop
from the desktop, but I cannot see any shared files (Network path not
found). I cannot see the desktop from the laptop. They both have the same
workgroup name. Should there be some signon process that I am not doing?
What do you suggest?
