Hello:

I have my sony desktop runnig on home edition which is
the wireless provider also through the netgear router.
Then I have Sony Laptop with windows professional which
gets its wireless connection through Netgear.

The wireless is working fine. I ran network setup wizard
on both the computers to share the files. On desktop,
after going through the process at the end it gives me
the message "cannot complete the network setup wizard" an
error occured during the setup...... However I can see
the laptop on my network but cannot open the shared
folder which gives me the message the "you might not have
the previledge to use this network resource"... On the
laptop I can easily acess the desktop shared folders and
all other shared files and also successfully run the
networksetup wizard.

Oh yes. I did change the laptop recently from windows xp
home edition to professional and it is after that this
has happened.

Help

Does the guest account on your laptop have a password?

i somtimes encounter problems in a similar setup, where i cant map to drives
or access shares from a computer if the guest account has a password. it
dosent seem to matter wether it is enabled or disabled, just that it has a
password. entering the password when prompted didnt allow access. Just a
thought.

Also are the shared folders on the laptop still shared? perhaps the wizard
knocked them out or somthing?

Greetings Vikas,

Look at the Home Network Wizard log file for any irrelevant information
which may contain any problems that you encounter during the network setup.
The Home Network Wizard Log file is stored in the C:\WINDOWS directory named
nwz.log. There may be some useful information there. Keep in mind that even
though it tells you to run the Network Setup Wizard, it is never necessary
to run it because you can do it manually. Also, see the following MS KB
Article.
