Question : How to share files on home wireless network
|
|
I am trying to shares files between my work laptop (running W2000) and my home network (a pc running XP with a Netgear wireless ADSL router) but am unable to see the shared files (from either the pc or my laptop). The internet sharing works. I can ping to each pc but can not seem to connect otherwise. In the command prompt, if I type in \\computer\share, (where computer is the computer name and share is the shared folder) I get back "The network path was not found"
Any clues how I go about sharing files? All help very much appreciated
Yours very frustrated

Make sure that netbios over tcp/ip is enabled in the network properties, and LM announce is enabled in the network card settings. Or you could create an "LMhosts" file on each machine, by editing the existing file in winnt\system32\
example:(use your own IP and hostnames)
192.168.1.1 windows2000hostname 192.168.1.2 Windows XPhostname
