I'm going nuts. I've been reading posts (many similar to my problems) but
have not been able to figure out my problem. I obviously don't know what I'm
doing.

I'm trying to set up a home wireless network with file and printer sharing.

I have:

Netgear WGR614 v5 wireless router connected to Cable modem.
Router is wired to desktop running XP Pro SP2
I'm broadcasting to laptop running XP Home SP2 with Netgear wireless pc card

Internet works fine on both. I've run Network Wizzards, disabled firewalls,
uninstalled LAN, reinstalled, tried most everything I've read from many
places. Nothing helps. I've disabled antivirus on both computers.

From Desktop, I can ping router and laptop, but not self. I can only ping
IP addresses. Pinging computer names fails. My Network Places shows shared
folder on itself only. Clicking View Workgroup Computers shows nothing and
causes the control panel window to "not respond".

From laptop, I can ping self, router, but not desktop, again, IP addresses
only. My Network Places shows shared folder on itself only. View Workgroup
Computers shows desktop and laptop but desktop is not accessible.

Sorry for the redundant post, but I'm about to chuck the whole thing out the
window.

Thanks for your speedy reply. Hope this information helps. I really
appreciate it.

Is the laptop used on another network at all, for example your place of
work?

I worked through another microsoft troubleshooting script and it sounds like
a problem with my Routing Table (can't ping my own IP) and a problem with
Host Name Resolution (can't ping any computer names). Problem is, they don't
tell you how to resolve these matters, they just say that might be your
problem.

I reset the TCP/IP stack on the desktop. No help.

Could you check both pcs have different host names and that they are both
members of workgroup with the same name.
It would appear that both pcs have correct tcp/ip settings hence they both
browse the web ok but for them to talk to each other they have to be members
of the same workgroup which is were its falling over.
