I have searched through the posts and am getting no-where.
I have set up the network between 2 PC's running XP Pro+SP2.
The icons tell me both local connection are OK.
I am using a Linksys residential gateway and both PC's contact the net.
How do I communicate between the PC's to drive/fileshare and printer share?
Run the Network Setup Wizard (in Start > All Programs > Accessories >
Communications) on both computers. If the Wizard finds the router's
shared Internet connection, tell it to use that connection.
Otherwise, tell it that the computers connect to the Internet through
a residential gateway (router).
The Wizard will enable file and printer sharing, create a Shared
Documents folder, and share all printers.
If you have a firewall program (Norton, McAfee, PC-cillin, ZoneAlarm,
etc), configure it to allow access by other computers on the local
area network.
To share a folder, right-click it and select Sharing and Security from
the menu.
To see the shared folders on the other computer, click Start > Run,
type the other computer's name in the box as shown below, and click
OK:
\\computer
You might also be able to see the other computer's shared folders in
My Network Places, although that doesn't always work reliably.
That's exactly how I have been setting up the network.
I did it again but still receive the message "\\Perrins2 ( the second PC)
No network provider accepted the given network path.
What can I do now?
The Network Setup Wizard is a good place to start. If your computer isn't
properly setup, though, it won't give you the right results. You'll have to
find the problem.
First, look for a misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall, or other
security component.
