I can't run the network wizard on the one laptop - I think because it is a
business laptop and it is tied to another network? So I tried to just connect
the tower and the laptop.
The tower is directly connected to the Linksys now and the Linksys is
connected to the dsl line.
I ran the network wizard on each machine, but it screwed up the lap top.
Now I get a dialup connection anytime the internet is called up. And while I
can connect to the internet on both computers I can't access the one database
I need to share. Since both machines connect to the internet differently I
chose different methods of connecting to the internet. But, I am not
interested in sharing the internet - I NEED to share a database that exists
only on one computer.
I wanted to get "Any" network connection to work so I could try to share
this database before I go out and buy a new laptop.
My goal is to have two laptops that will connect through the Linksys without
an internet connection for a traveling auction business. One laptop needs to
be in one room which serves as an office and the other in the auction arena.
I am trying to set up a trial network to see if I can share the database
successfully,. If I can't share the database, there is no point in
purchasing the second laptop. I need to have everything in place by Dec 20th.
When I enter \\computer name I get
The network path was not found.
I also tried the remote Desktop connection. I get :
The client cold not connect to the remote computer.
Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to
accept new connections. It is also possible that network problems are
preventing you connection.etc
Thanks for your help - I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

connector. I have a Linksys router and have created the network. but I can
not figure out how to get the guest laptop to access the host laptop.
Another question
can I link a non wifi desktop to this system by plugging in a network cable
directly to the Linksys router?
Thank you for your help
