Hi Kevin:
Have you set the relevant folders to 'shared' on each machine?

well, i ran the network set up wizards on both computers, entered the same 
network names, passwords etc and was told by windows in both cases setup was

successful. the network name shows up in my network places, but i still 
can't access the damned thing!! ... i get an error message from windows on 
both machines saying that access is not available and i might not have 
permission to access the network. then the error message goes on to say 
something like the list of work group servers is not available at this time.

any further help from anyone? smile. do i need to do something with the 
wirless router? i took a quick look at it's settings and it shows the 
details for the internet connection and the IP addresses of both computers.

Hi

You need to define what is to be shared.  You need to enable file and =
printer sharing.  Then you need to select the folders you wish to share =
on each of the machines.

You've got all your equipment, pots and pans, to make your cake.  Now =
you need to choose which of your ingredients that you wish to mix =
together.

I hope that the above isn't too abstract for you.

can connect to the net. but they can't see each other. do i have to =
create a=20
new network or something? this network called kevin  they connect to the =

internet by is not listed in my network places on either computer, it =

Hi kevin, Take a look in my network places its on the desktop (XP). If
windows has successfully created the network it should be listed their =
by
name. It maybe in the top level or it maybe under entire network.

Both computers should be listed and depending on if its working =
correctly
you should be able to access the files and folders by pressing enter on =
the
name of the computer. If your firewall is blocking access you will get =
an
access denied message.
