Hoping someone can help me with my file / printer sharing on WinXP...

I had a wireless network with a pc and a notebook working fine until last week, when I replaced my notebook. Since then I have not been able to share any files or the printer. I have run the wireless network wizard and it says that both computers are networked - they have the same passkey, the same workgroup and are both accepted by the router - but I cannot see one computer from the other, let alone share files or printers.


I'm grateful for any help you can give.

Cheers

Sounds like you need to disable the XP Firewall. :confused:

Ah - I don't need to on one but you've given me an idea!

I'm running Norton Internet Security on one computer and the Windows Firewall on the other and there is a home networking wizard in NIS which allows/bannes IP addresses...

I shall give it a go.

Cheers :D
