It has to just be a click away....

OK...lets start w/ legend:

DT - Desktop
LT - Laptop
HW - Hard Wired
WL - WireLess

Now....thats out of the way....

My DT can see the LT, but the LT cant see the DT. Now the DT just sees it but when I click to open it it tells me it cant find it!....

The LT sees nothing....Both are on the net through a router, but the DT is HW, while the LT is WL....

Whats the catch?...where is the freakin click i am missing!

    Have you shared folder on each PC?
    All I did was share something and run the wizard. 2PCs wired, 1PC WL, 1LT WL. All fine.
    Sorry for stating the obvious but you know.....

    Firewalls play a big part in this. You will need to configure all Firewalls appropriately. As a test, shut down all Firewalls, temporarily, and all the computers should see each other.

    Sharing was on for the LT...I use it when workiing from a satallite office sometimes and run off wireless there....Howerver it is fixed now...Once again

    Thx YAD...even through the pain, rejection and name calling you prove your worth...

    I didnt have all the necessary protocol installed on my DT....which still doesnt make sense that my wife's LT worked WL...and mine didnt...but now after installing the protocols...all is working fine...
