I have two computers both running XP. The "office" computer is hard wired
through a Linksys WRT54 G wireless router to a cable modem for internet
access. The "bonus" computer has a Linksys Wireless NIC. I have the two
units in a XP Home network. From the office computer, I can see the bonus
computer and access most of the files and folders. From the bonus computer,
I can see the office computer but cannot access. I have a Lexmark printer
connected to the office computer but can not print from the bonus computer.
This system has previously worked and allowed both file access and print
sharing between the two systems. Both computers are set up for file sharing
and print sharing.
I also noticed that my office computer XP firewall is Turned Off. I tried
to open the Security Center, but gives statment that center has stopped or
did not start. The firewall screen also displays a statement that for
security, some settings are controlled by Group Policy.
This is a home network with only two computers located about 10 feet from
each other.
Assistance?
Thanks
