Okay;
So I've had this Linksys BEFSR41 router for quite some time now; and the internet has been working great ever since I figured out how to get it working on both computers (both with xp on them).....
But; here's the thing; NOW; I would like to share files between them; but lately I've tried many methods but haven't found a solution to my problem (even though it isn't uncommmon)...
What happens is; when I click into network places and try to view the computers on my network; I am able to see both of them with my newer p4 (w/XP); but am told that "I don't have access to the files; contact the administrator,,etc...".....but when I look on my older computer; (which also has XP), I don't see either of the computers from the network.....
...Does anyone know how I can set up these two computers to be able
to:
-Browse & Share files between themselves through my router
-Share the printer I have hooked up via USB on my newer p4 computer;
....I've tried too many times now taking the easy way out and using the home network setup wizard in the XP control panel; but it doesn't seem to do crap for me;
...So; hopefully someone can give me some clue as to how I can get these two computers two be able to 'see' and browse each other so they can share files.....
P.S. What's funny though; before I ever had the router; I had an Intellinet switch that worked just fine between the two; but ever since I re-set up the network and stuff with the router; I keep getting the error that "I don't have the permission to access these files"...
...lastly; yes, I do have designated share folders too, so technically , I think I'm doing what im supposed to; but there's gotta be one little thing that doesn't wanna click and let me share files.....
thanx again ad;
