| 667826 | 2008-05-09 22:33:00 | Hi, I have 2 computer setup for wireless . The issue is freq, one computer is unable to view the other's HDD but it can surf the net without a problem . But the other computer can view the other's HDD and when it does this . . it wakes up the other one . . so that can do it as well . So :confused: I am pretty sure the settings are right, same workgroup, protocols installed etc . Much of the time if one not work, I jump upstairs and use that computer to access it . . wake it up . . and go back downstairs to use it . . . . . . . . . |

| 667828 | 2008-05-09 22:43:00 | Usually its a firewall that blocks it, why one cant see the other, or if you cant share a folder. Thats if the workgroup names are the name, and file sharing is enabled Use the Network Wizard in the firewall (if its not XP's firewall) to configure it |
