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.
