Hi I'm having a problem networking my 2 computers using a wireless router,
Netgear DG834G, I can access the net using my laptop, wireless connection, my
desktop can access the net no problem. My main problem is that after I run
network wizard on both computers and look in 'my network places' both
computers detect each other but if I use one computer to try and access the
bother get a warning saying ' home computer is not accessible, you mighht
not have permission?'

This is generally a misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall, but there are
other possibilities. Start from this article:
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/10/irregularities-in-workgroup-visibility.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/1...isibility.html

If no help from the above, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from
each computer, and we'll diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely:

When to compared to the other respondents, I'm a very new
rooky. When I set up a two-computer Ethernet LAN I had no
"...you might not have permission" message until I installed
service pack two on the notebook, which was sharing its
files. Both computers had two accounts displayed in the
welcome screen. After SP2, it was necessary to have a
password for the account to be shared and the other computer
had to enter the account name and password in Map Network
Drive. A blank password does not work. --David

Problem sorted, thank you very much for the help it is much appreciated. cheers

OK, now it gets a bit tougher I fear. Neither browstat or ipconfig show any
problem.

# Both computers are on the same subnet, 192.168.0/24.
# Both computers are getting DHCP settings from the same gateway / server,
192.168.0.1.
# Both computers are in the same workgroup, Home, and both see each other.

Let's see if we can find any symptoms.

Take the following code (everything inside the "#####"). (Please verify computer
names and ip addresses).

1. Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight
then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is presented, and Paste (Ctrl-V)
into Notepad. Verify, and correct, names and addresses if necessary.
2. Save the Notepad file as "cdiag.cmd", as type "All Files", into the root
folder "C:\".
3. Run it by Start - Run - "c:\cdiag".
4. Wait patiently.
5. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cdiag.txt, first check Format and
ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.

Do this from both computers, please, with both computers powered up and online.
