Hello,

I'm trying to set up home network. I have one desktop (xp professional)
and 2 laptops (1 xp and the other 2000). I have cable modem and router.
My desktop is wired connection and laptops are wireless connnection. I
follow the network setup wizard on my desktop (xp). It works very well
for my 2 xp machines (1 desktop and 1 laptop). They can see each
other's shared files and printer (printer is connected to desktop).

However, from my desktop, I can see shared files on 2000 box but not
vice versa. When I run \\desktopname from my 2000 box, I got
"\\desktopname is not accessible. There are currently no logon servers
available to service the logon request". Can someone tell me the
missing puzzles? Thanks.

Andrew


You're probably posting in the wrong newsgroup since your
problem is caused by the WinXP PC, not by the Win2000
machines.

I suspect one of the following:
- Your IP addresses are incompatible.
- Your WinXP firewall is blocking your.
- You may have "Simple File Sharing" enabled.

The experts in the WinXP newsgroup will probably give you
an immediate answer.
