Re: Home Network



Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.

Hello,

I have a ADSL wireless modem/router, which also has 4 network ports. I
connect my desktop through one of the network ports and a laptop through
the
wireless.

Both connect to the internet with no problems.

I am trying to set up a network so the laptop can access folders and a
printer which are attached to the desktop.

Any ideas how I should do this, I've tried a couple of the 'Set up
network'
wizards in XP, but couldn't get it to work (laptop cannot see desktop
folders
or printer).

Thanks
--
