Hello people, am a newbie to please bear with me.
Built my first computer yesterday. Works like a charm and went off without a hick except for my NETWORK.
Took my old computer and gave it to son, installed a wireless card into it.
On my new computer I am using the onboard LAN. All this plugged into a LINKSYS wireless router. I can access the internet from both computers that are now connected on the router. MY PROBLEM is!!!! I have run NETWORK SETUP WIZARD on both computers. I have checked that the workgroup names are the same and that the computer names are different. On the old computer I can see the new one when I explore the Network even if I do not have access to it but on the NEW ONE I cannot see the old computer. When I access the Network from the new computer I cannot see anything, it is blank. I tried to run the wizard again but for some reason the settings do not stay. Everytime I make a new Network Connection using the same Workgroup name it just vanishes to god knows where. I managed to send some files from the old computer to a NETWORK SHARED FOLDER on my new computer via the Explore Network but that's as far as I can go!
Can anyone help me with this problem. Thanks people and have a great one!
