This (anoying :/ ) message is common on my Toshiba laptop (wireless
unavailable) when using the "other" connection
..
Are ALL devices (SPECIFIC to connected port) set in the same IP
address range and subnet mask? If DHCP, is there a single DHCP server?

Is the desktop computer set for file and printer sharing (it won't
show if not)?
Is the Workgroup name the same (and is set for workgroup, not domain)?
