Condition:
Home Network w/ 2 computers
both XP Home sp2
Connected through wireless router
1 desktop hardwire
1 laptop wireless
I have run through home network setup...both have same workgroup...both have guest turned on
from the desktop i can ping the notebook and the router successfully, yet i am unable to access the workgroup (MSHOME) from the desktop!? i can see the workgroup but cannot drill down to see computers.
Error msg: MSHOME not acessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the adminstrator of this server to finde out if you have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available.
From the Notebook i am unable to ping the desktop but i am able to ping the router. I can access the the workgroup (MSHOME) and can see both computers but can only drill down into the laptop. When i attempt to drill down into the desktop i get the following error message:
\\[computer name] is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found.
I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES BUT I AM PERPLEXED!!!
HELP ANYONE!
