I am attempting to set up a wireless network in my home and am having issues.
I have a linksys router linked to my desktop and a wireless card in my
laptop. I am able to connect to the internet on both computers, but I can't
get them to communicate with each other. On my laptop when I go to Network
places and click on "view workgroup computers" nothing is there and it tells
me I don't have permission to access the network. On my desktop when I view
workgroup computers it shows both of them there but it says that my laptop is
unaccessible - I may not have permission to access it. Also the wireless
connection is very temperamental on my laptop. If I try to make it WEP secure
it won't work, if I turn off my Windows internal connection firewall it won't
work. I have a separate internet security program for both computers and I
would just like to go with those. The network still works on my desktop if I
turn off the Windows firewall. I have gone through the network wizard a
million times and I don't know what I could be missing. Both computers have
Windows XP. Thanks for any help.
