I am encountering some rather sporadic issues with my home network.

The set up is as follows: one desktop with a wireless D-Link network card,
two laptops - both with wireless notebook cards.One laptop is running XP
Pro, the other is running Win2K. The desktop is also running XP Pro. There
is a four port router conected to my cable modem. Have a Linksys 802.11g
wireless access point. The desktop is not connected directly to the four
port router - network is completely wireless.

One of the laptops (XP Pro) is able to see the desktop just fine. Can browse
the shares, use the printer attached to the desktop, etc. On the Win2K
laptop, can see the other two, but when try to access the shares, get a
network not accessible error. Why can it be seen, but not used?

Any suggestions?
