I set up a wireless network a few days ago, and I have it connecting to the internet just fine on both my main pc, and arcade pc. However, I can't access my arcade pc from my main pc. It seems to see the shared folders on the other pc just fine, but it won't let me access them. I have them both with unique names, and both in the same workgroup. Strange thing is, that last night I had it working after I got the workgroup names the same, and as far as I can remember, didn't change anything else. Everything I mentioned above is still the same. It tells me: --- Quote ---\\hypercade\d is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found. --- End quote --- When I had a wired network, I didn't have any problems accessing my arcade pc from my main pc. So what's going on? |

Are you using the same os on both systems? I've alway had problems getting xp and 2000 to play well together. Never had that problem with just win 2000. |

You could try via the IP number rather than the name. That is the way I do it.. eg \\192.168.0.182\mametable |

Do you have a firewall running on the machine you are trying to access? Is so, try disabling the firewall. Depending on what you are using, you should be able to set it up to allow shared files but configurations will vary. |

When you enabled file sharing - did you do simple file sharing? Can you access files from either machine to either machine or is it only blocked from 1 machine to the other? Can both machines surf the internet ok? |
