Wireless file sharing
I have 2 computers in wireless network with router and DSL modem . Both computers have 2K server and i am logged in as admin.
ipconfig first computer has
ip 192.168.2.100 and other has 192.168.2.102, both gateway points to 192.168.2.1.
i can connect to internet from both computer..however, from one computer if i try to map the other computer, when i can click on browse,i can see the other computer name,but OK button is disabled and when i try to click on computer name, nothing happens. I have shared folder on other computer,,but i dont see under Computers Near me / name of the computer..i try to type in \\192.168.2.102\shared folder..error tells me network path could not be found. how can i resolve this problem

they r 2k server, no firewall running. they r in same work group. i even created user id and password common for both computers, still no luck mapping. one thing i noticed on one computer when i open IE, at the bottom it says detecting proxy settings...i dont think i have proxy software running in either computer.....both computer has automatic IP settings
enable printer and file sharing, this might resolve it for you.
Also, make sure you have a shared folder, without a shared folder, it's like having a tunnel that spans across the atlantic with two doors that won't open in the middle........
Also, specify what file format you have on each machine (FAT32, NTFS...etc), this can also cause problems.
