Can anyone help me with this.

I have 3 PC's all running ME. Two are hard wired, one is wireless using a
Linksys wirelessG card. All are connected to a Linksys router. Internet
access is fine on all machines. The two hardwired PC's work fine on the
network. Problem is with the netowrk connection between my main PC (pc 1)
and the wireless PC ( pc2).

I have followed all the stages in carey holxmans tips at
www.careyholzman.com and double checked everything.
Current position is as follows :-

PC 1 can browse the entire network and see the shared folders on PC2 via
Network Neighbourhood.
PC 2 cannot browse the network via Network Neighbourhood, but I can map the
drives on PC1 to PC2 and browse them.
Network Neighbourhood on PC2 freezes and the system occassionaly crashes as
a result.

Really stuck. Any suggestions ?

Thanks
Andrew

I assume the wifi machine connects to the access point and get a valid
IP address.

can you ping PC 1 from PC2 and vice versa.. I would start here - if
you can ping then network connectivity between the two machines is
working - could be a authentication issue.
