XP Home Networking Problems?

bill b asked:


After running the Wizard on both computers, my laptop does not show either computer when I “View Network Computers.” My main computer shows both the main and laptop but access is denied to the laptop. The laptop has Norton Internet Security and the main does not. I disabled both NIS and Windows firewall. I connect through a linksys router and have no trouble connecting to the internet with either computer. Would appreciate your advice. Thnx, bill b

    i had a similar problem, you have to have a log in password for the ‘old’ computer, otherwise windows xp won’t let it ‘in’ - did you try pinging either computer? although my router could connect to the internet from both comps, somehow it would not connect internally. try start - run - pin ‘ip address’

    Instead of disabling norton, go to options and check start manually. Then reboot. A quick solution to password issue is to set both computers to same user id and password.
