my setup:
(1) xp home wired pc
(2) xp pro laptop wireless
my problem:
the computers can see each other on the network but cannot access each others drives.
my solution:
1. disabled SIMPLE FILESHARING on xp pro
2. shared the drives. make sure the share names are not c$ or d$ (if so, click on
NEW SHARE and assign C or D)
3. make sure both PCs are on the same workgroup
4. on xp home:
a. on desktop right click MY NETWORK PLACES then PROPERTIES
b. right click on LOCAL AREA NETWORK then PROPERTIES
c. click on INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP/IP) then PROPERTIES
d. click ADVANCED / WINS / check ENABLE NETBIOS over TCP/IP
5. on xp pro;
a. right click on MY NETWORK PLACES on DESKTOP
b. PROPERTIES then right click on WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTION / PROPERTIES
c. INTERNET PROTOCOL / PROPERTIES / ADVANCED / WINS
d. ENABLE NETBIOS over TCP/IP
6. disable FIREWALL on both PCs.
a. on xp home, LOCAL AREA CONNECTION PROPERTIES / ADVANCED, remove "protect my
computer.......
b. on laptop, look for WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTION PROPERTIES / ADVANCED, remove
"protect my computer.......
c. it might be necessary to remove the wireless card and reinsert it after setting
the previous FIREWALL steps
7. By now, i could access all the drives from both pc's. so i mapped them to make
it faster.
EXTRA!!! EXTRA!!!
Several months ago prior to this setup, my laptop browsing was slow when i accessed
the desktop shared drives. Now by following the steps above, my laptop browses the
desktop quickly and i don't have to wait several seconds for the drive/folders/files
to load.
I only wish i got 54mbps when transferring large files, as 11mbps is slow at times.
