Good afternoon,
I have two computers (1 desktop win2000 and 1 laptop
winxp). I have wireless network cards for both and they
both work great. I access the internet through a
wireless linksys router which is connected to my cable
modem. However, I ran the network setup on the winxp
laptop and I clicked that I connect directly to the
internet through this computer. I then went through the
steps and created the network. However, sometimes my
win2k desktop "sees" the laptop in my network places but
can't access it because "I do not have proper
permission". I am the administrator.... On the laptop,
I can't even see the desktop at all. I can't even ping
the other computer on each computer. When I set my
wireless cards to "adhoc" I can't even get a connection.
Anyone that has any help at all please let me know!!!!
Thank you very much.

Perhaps the XP firewall is preventing you from accessing
the XP Laptop from the 2000 box.

Suggest turning off your firewall.
