Ok...I know this has to be covered somewhere...HECK...I know I asked this before...but cant find it...

I am on a WAP w/ 2 other PC's that are hard wired...now y cant I see them?

Tells me I dont have permission...

What we are really wanting here is just a shared file that we both can put things into and take things out of....

*BE GENTLE*

TIA

    If you can't ping them you certainly won't be able to do anything else with them. From there I'd suggest if you are on XP to stop windows internet firewall. Next step you should be able to make a shared folder on one machine that the other machines can see and use.

    Another trick - if you can ping them is to use the 'net use' command from dos and map a drive with the username of the machine you are trying to connect.

    Windows firewall was never on...

    WHen I click on workgroup i get a permission thing...


    GRRRR....nevermind...he wanted me to use a networked printer and had me install some third part software that has switched every thing and now I see everyone...but I got that crap software on here now...lol

    I figured it was an allowance issue so this program switched everything on...something to do w/ like netbiu or whatever...lol...
