File and Print sharing

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Hi, all

I have two XP Home PC's connected thru a wireless router, sharing a single
ADSL modem. I can ping between machines and can see shared files in each
machine frm the other (network neighbourhood). Both share the same
workgroup, windows client for network installed, guest account on etc.

The problem occurs when I want to access files e.g. copy, load into an
application, etc. It simply will not work. On one machine it gives a
permissions error, while the other the simply hangs.

I have tried most things such as loading additional protocols (netbeui,
netbios etc) and removing all except TCP/IP. Same problem.

Needless to say, I am pretty frustrated by this, so if anyone can help I
would much appreciated it.

Regards
Peter Williamson

Hi,

Thanks. No luck though. If I connect (one of the computers) thru a physical
cable, there is no problem. Am wondering if a different router would make a
difference? Perhaps 11g instead of 11b?

I have also tried a variety of different wireless cards .. No difference.

Would XP Pro make a difference?
