Wireless network
I have two computers networking wirelessly. I can acess the internet fine, but I can't access any share file and printer from the other network computer.
Are you sure you have file and printer sharing enabled? What OS on both?
Getting errors? or are they just not showing up when you browse?
by browse I mean browse the network neighborhood, sorry.
haha, that sounds even more stupid. Browse the network, that's what I mean, browse the network.
You have two Computers attaching to a Wireless Access Point which is connected to the Internet.
Both Computers can access the network.
Both Computers have IP addresses on the same network with the same subnet mask.
Can each Computer ping its own IP address?
Can each Computer ping the others IP Address?
Can each Computer ping the others "Computer Name"?
If these are Windows PCs - what is your IPConfig?
[Start/Run/cmd & at the prompt ipconfig /all >> C:\sr-ip.txt]
Open the file C:\sr-ip.txt & Copy/Paste into comment here
