447924 2006-04-20 09:59:00 Dont worry about domains. Only XP Pro has this option, Home doesn't. And it isnt needed if you're networking in a house.

The main thing is, the workgroup name on both MUST be the same.




And when trying to access another computer it says "\\............. is not accessible. You might not have the premission to use the network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied." There are no passwords being put on either computers

You dont have to have a password. It helps, but one isnt needed if both use XP.

That error usually means, you havent configured both properly. You havent created the folder, or you've made/created the folder on both, but haven't shared the folder.

Or you've got a firewall running, which needs to be configured as well.

447925 2006-04-20 10:04:00 I'm using WinXP Pro in house. Both computers have the share folders. And yes, I run the home networking wizard and both computer have the same workground name which is home. It is so weird because I can't get information or files from another computer.
I have Zone Alarm Pro as a firewall does anyone know how to configure it?

I also have checked that both computer have the same workgroup name as HOME. What happen?

447926 2006-04-20 10:14:00 disable it (i.e close it down) and try the file transfer. Tux (606)
447927 2006-04-20 10:17:00 As I said in the previous post, enter the ip addresses in manually.

Are you on dialup or ADSL? And do you want the networked PC to get onto the net? As well as share a folder on it?

Is Zonealarm registered? If it is, and you enter the ip addresses in manually on both. ZA should detect the network, and should bring up a window saying it has detected a network, and add both PC's ip addresses, to it (if Zonealarm is on both computers).

447928 2006-04-20 10:19:00 Zone Alarm Pro have been shut down on both computers but still cannot access another computer. MTLance (6768)
447929 2006-04-20 10:23:00 Take snapshots (press prt scr on the keyboard), of the LAN properties on both PC's (where it says obtain an ip automatically). So we can see whats there.

Then paste them into a graphics program, if u have one. Then save them as jpegs.

Then upload them here (www.imagef1.net.nz) and paste the link/s it gives you back here.

You wont get anywhere until u enter the ip address in manually on both.

447930 2006-04-20 10:24:00 Zone Alarm only shows that I'm connected to a network hub which is my ADSL Router Modem.
I connect my both computer to my ADSL Router Modem which is D-Link DSL-504T.

447933 2006-04-20 10:31:00 have you got the router set up correctly for file transfer? if its a one off and you want to be lazy, use msn messenger, it will create its own tunnel through your router i have found Tux (606)
