To see if the computers can communicate with each other, do what I
suggested in steps 2 and 3 above.
Make sure that the folder that you're trying to access is still
shared, and that you're accessing it using the right share name. On
the desktop computer:
1. Type this command in the Start | Run box:
fsmgmt.msc
2. Click OK.
3. Double click Shares in the right side of the window.
4. Find the shared folder in the list and look at its "Shared Folder"
name.
