Thanks for the suggestion. I am now able to get my computers to detect each
other on the network, however, I am still having trouble. When I try and
access the hard drive of my desktop (via my lap top), it won't allow me
access to any of its sub folders (e.g. program files, my documents, etc.).
It appears to be restricting access for some reason. I thought I had all
sharing options enabled though.
In addition, when I try and connect to my desktop printer through the
network, it will read that the printer exists, but I am not able to send a
successful print job through
