I have 2 desk tops both on xp home, 1 is wired (primary) and 2nd is wireless.
On the wireless I can pick up the network, get on the internet but I can't
see any files that im sharing from the primary. I am also getting a message
"limited or no Condutivity". Can some one help with this also direct me on
how to share fromm computer to computer in the same home?

Stacey,

Are you really getting "limited or no Condutivity" on the laptop, while still
actually surfing the Internet?

Let's start by looking at "ipconfig /all" from both computers.

Thanks Chuck for replying, I have had the new Dell for about 3 months and I
have nothing but problems with this wireless. The router is a Dlink 524, from
Dell and I could not connect to the internet from the main computer. I was on
the phone with Dlink Dell and my ISP for a month and a half for hours and
hours. They would all do their ping test and say it was ok on their end so
call somebody else. Finally Dlink was able to change some settings and get
the primary pc up and running but it would disconnect often so they gave me a
static ip address and it seemed to help, now it only disconnect once and a
while. So now this is working ok I set up the second pc and was doing some
sharing once or twice, but now I am getting that error so maybe I have to
reset it all and start from new with some one that can actaully help. Yes my
DHCP client service is running.

Hi Stacey,

OK, be patient with me and try to identify the scope of the problem. Please
spend a few minutes, and read my tutorial about solving network problems.

And about providing details about your network.

And finally, since I am betting we will converse for a bit, please answer below
my questions.

Hi Chuck, I would to start off by Saying "Oh My Lord" I Have Been reading
and reading and I still haven't broke the ice on what I need to know and I
can see it will take a very long time for me to learn a fraction of it.
I have picked up a few things and I will try and follow as we go to solve my
problems. I do want to say that I dont feel that I was lead in the right
direction before when setting up my home network because some things were not
in your guide lines to do and also some were in your not to do.
So to start over I have 2 computers 1 Dell xp Pro(primary) that is wired
through a router and broadband modem and the second is a Dell xp Home and
both are desk tops. The second is 20 ft away and will be used for my daughter
to access the internet and to share files and printers. I have tried 3
different routers and cables thinking it maybe hardware but same problem and
also if I disconnect the router and wire direct into modem things work
perfect, that is why for the three routers.
My opinion, which is only 2 cents because of my lack of knowledge, it has to
be in the settings of the computers. Dell, Dlink, and ISP will not even touch
this with me they allsay the part is working fine. So I hope I gave you
enough to help me in solving this? Thanks Stacey

OK, Stacey,

That's a good start. Now let's look at "ipconfig /all" (see above article) from
the computers.
