I have a desktop running XP MCE 2005 and a laptop running Vista Home Premium.
The desktop is wired to my WRT54G router and the laptop is wirelessly connected.
I've run the Network Setup Wizard plenty of times. Both computers are in the same workgroup.
The desktop has Norton 360 and the laptop has Norton Internet Security. Both Norton products have file sharing enabled as well as my home network in their trusted network sections.
Windows Firewall is disabled.
I can't get this to work. Neither of the computers are able to access the other.
They don't show up in my network places. Or when i click on View Workgroup Computers.
And I can't access the computers by typing their LAN IP into Windows Explorer either.
I've searched just about every site on the web and followed every set of instruction I could find. And still no file sharing. Please help. Are there ports that I need to open? Did I miss one small setting? Someone help me please.
many thanks,
TRBMan
