I have xp pro on the tower, home on the laptop.
comcast cable, dlink router wifi access point, and have been sharing
internet for years.
Both systems have service patch 2 installed and all security updates, etc.
Tower using windows firewall and AVG antiviurs, and microsoft anti popup.
Laptop has norton stuff protecting it.
Everybody tells me it's so easy to set up networks these days, etc., so I
tried again. No luck. I ran the network wizard from the tower, put the
data on a flash drive, put that in the laptop, as instructed, but that's it.
When I go to start_control panal_network and internet connections_my network
places, either nothing happens or a popup window comes up telling me I'm not
autherized and go see my system admininstrator.
Any ideas on how I should proceed from here would be much appreciated.
TIA
