Can you access the other computer using the IP address by typing (for example) the following after clicking Start and then Run: \\192.168.1.2 Obviously using the real IP address instead of 192.168.1.2 If that works, can you use the computer name instead of the IP-address \\computer2 Again using the your computer name instead of computer2 |
