i am having a problem with my wireless networking. the strange thing is that
internet explorer is working fine, but i need to transfer files and such from
my desktop to my laptop but it does not show the network under the network
connections window. i have tried disabling my firewall and setting up a new
network and nothing is working so far. any ideas? I hope this gives you an
idea. thanks.

I would say no, but I am not the guy to ask. Good luck though.

Adam,
If you have not found a solution try this. It worked for me:

Hi Cindy,

" it seems the problem about the file sharing lies in the norton security.
if anyone has it on their pc's they need to open up to Personal filewall /
configure, then click networking tab and check they have settings for :
HOME active, then add the pc's you want to share ie: your ip addresses to
the trusted zone,. Also in the locations tab ensure 'Turn network Detector'
is checked. also keep firewalls set to on.
hope this helps
