| 634690 | 2008-01-28 06:51:00 | Today's problem is wireless networking . The laptop is wireless connected to the desktop via a Belkin Wireless G router . At the moment, the laptop connects to the internet ok, BUT I can't share files to and from each computer . When I look on My Network Places on the desktop, only the desktop ones show up . When I look at My Network Places on the laptop, ONLY the desktop folders show up (none of the laptop shared folders) . :( In addition, the networks available on the desktop do not include the Belkin Wireless network (it does on the laptop) . :confused: All of this worked just fine a couple of months ago - but I do admit to moving a few things around on the desktop . To allow for this, I went through the Sharing and Security process to make sure - but to no avail . Bother . Clues?? |

| 634692 | 2008-01-28 08:43:00 | 1) Unshare and share the folders again 2) Firewall issue? 3) Wrong Access Point (AP) connected (unlikely though)? |

| 634694 | 2008-01-28 09:59:00 | Can you get access to your laptop's server from your desktop in Microsoft Windows network? His laptop's what? I dont think he mentioned a server anywhere in his post. |

| 634696 | 2008-01-28 18:25:00 | 1) Unshare and share the folders again 2) Firewall issue? 3) Wrong Access Point (AP) connected (unlikely though)? Did the unshare/reshare bit. Checked the firewall (but didn't undo/redo) maybe try that. Access point ?? Logic tells me that I should be able to see the shared laptop folders on the laptop - but I can't. I can only see the 'old' desktop shared folders on the laptop - not the updated version. I can see the desktop updated shared folders on the desktop. :groan: |

| 634698 | 2008-01-28 22:58:00 | I have a feeling that one of the computers cannot ping the other, which is the source of the problem... ... Don't trust my sixth sense too much though. Cheers :) |

| 634699 | 2008-01-29 00:01:00 | I remember I had a problem like this a few years ago. I would suggest you run the Windows Network setup wizard again, on your laptop, although im pretty sure that wont fix it. You could give it a try though. ;) | simro (13177) | ||
