Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)
Ok here goes,
I have a WRT54G plugged into my PC via the ethernet port and the WPC54G
plugged into my laptop. I was initially told that I can share files between
the pc and laptop through the card and router and create a wireless network,
however this doesn't seem possible.
I'm able to connect to the internet from both pc's without any problems at
all but I cannot share files.
When I create a network and try to connect it says it is "not accessible
and to contact the administrator". Also the desktop pc doesn't show up as
being wireless I've created networks but none of them work or show up
anywhere.
Do I have to alter the settings in the router or is it something to do with
the settings in windows? (XP with SP2) I've set the shared folders settings
and allowed for the firewalls but now I'm at the point of throwing it out the
window!!
I contacted Linksys but they fobbed me off with the file sharing settings
(big help! NOT)
Please help me as I have another pc to add to this non-existent wireless
network and really need to get it up and running...
