The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

XP Wireless Network Issues – Cannot connect to other workgroup member computers

Asked by sjeffs in Windows Networking

Tags: connect, cannot, workgroup, wireless, xp

Configuration

USR Router (802.11g wireless turbo) – IP = 192.168.123.xxx

Main Computer connected to the internet (ISDN for now) is connected to router through cat5 cable using Lan PCI Card

Two other computers using USR Wireless Cards (802.11g wireless turbo PCI)

Router is in DHCP mode and all the member computers seem to pick up the proper IP Addresses ie: 192.168.123.xxx

Workgroup = Workgroup and all have been set up to join this work group

All running XP Pro

I have not set up Internet Sharing on (for the moment anyway) the Main Computer and I do not have XP Firewall enabled on any of the connections.

The two wireless commuters pick up the router no problem and join that without a problem. I do not have Web enabled on  but do have SID and this is advertised.

My problem is that I cannot connect any of the computers. MS File and Print service enabled on all and I have shared various folders on each computer. From the Main Computer I can “sometimes” see one or the other of the wireless ones but when I try to view them I get an error saying I do not have permission to access it. Also when I try to view workgroups in the Network area from the other two wireless computers, it tell me I do not have permission to browse the network.

All I want to do is share documents between the computers, but is just not happening.

I saw somewhere that someone mentioned that XP may have “simple file sharing” enabled and this may be the problem. Where do I turn this off?

Is there a way of setting up File Sharing Permissions in XP where I can specify who or what computer can access them?

I haven’t tried add hoc as I don’t want to do it this way.
