Wireless Networking Problem
I have two computers, both desktop PC's, one is connected with a LAN cable through a wireless router and the other has a DLink wireless card in it. My network previously worked effortlessly the first time I hooked it up, but I put a new hard drive in the wireless computer and I have not been able to either find the network printer nor find the other computer on the network. I can access the Internet and my wireless computer, named SUPER2 on the network does not see the other computer, SUPERCOMPUTER, on the network and the supercomputer does not see super2.
I have tried turning off simple file sharing in the folder options, I have run the setup a home or small office network wizard multiple times. I turned off the firewall on SUPER2, but not the other computer, but I still am not getting a network showing up on either of the computers. Any help would sure be appreciated.
Thanks,
Courtney

ugh, seems i can't spell differently today. lol
FAT32 and NTFS handle security and access differnetly. It takes a bit of tweaking with NTFS but you can get it working with a couple of steps (if this is indeed part of the issue).
