I have a HP desktop running Windows XP Home and a Laptop
running Windows 2000 Professional. I am trying to set up
a microsoft network using my Linksys router (BEFW11S4). I
can not get either computer to recognize the other. They
appear in my work group, but in both cases, I get a
network reource undavailable error when I try to access
the other. I can actually connect directly using the IP
address(es), but this is causing me great grief!!!!!
What am I doing wrong?????
Please help!!!!
Jim
