Hi,
Now what? I have a laptop with a 54g connection, and a desktop with a
54g wireless PCI card. Both can connect to the net through the
WRT54g. Both running XP, one pro and one home.
How do I make these things see each other? I run the "Setup a home
network" wizard, and use other->direct attachment to internet or
through a router. I give the things different names, and same
workgroup. XP does it's thing, but I don't see anything magically pop
up anywhere. And when I try to view workgroup computers (under
network tasks), it says that I cannot access workgroup "BLAH" and that
I don't have permission. "You might not have permission to access
this resource".
Well what the heck? I can't find step by step anywhere. Am I on the
right track here?
Thanks for any assistance.
