Hopefully I can Explain this clearly.
I have 2 PC's (desktop & laptop, botyh are running XP SP2. I am using the MN700 as a router and the MN720 on the laptop. The desktop PC is wired into the MN700. Both PC's can access the internet. Both PC's can see the other if I start the MS Broadband utility. I have file sharing enabled on specific drives on the desktop PC, none on the laptop. My problem is that I cannot access anything that is on my desktop from my laptop. I have even tried enabling file sharing on the laptop and even then I cannot access anything on it from my desktop. The only thing I have been able to do is have the two PC's see each other when I use the MS Broadband Utility. What have I missed? Thanks, Craig |

Try going into Network Connections and right-click the icon representing
your LAN and selecting Properties. Check to be sure you have (1) Client for Microsoft Networks, (2) File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks and (3) Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) installed. If not, install the missing ones and then restart your system. -- Chris H.

Checked both the desktop & laptop, all that you noted plus
QoS Packet Sched. were already checked. >-----Original Message----- >Try going into Network Connections and right-click the icon representing >your LAN and selecting Properties.

Rather strange you're not seeing the other computer in Windows Explorer.
What LAN name (don't tell me!) do you have, and is each computer reflected with the same name? You can check that first in your base station settings, then on each computer by right-clicking My Computer, selecting Properties and then going to the Computer Name tab. You'll see an entry for Workgroup: about midway on the screen. If they aren't the same, click the Change button, then at the bottom put a dot in the radial and enter the correct name. Then OK your way out and restart the system(s). -- Chris H.

OKay I checked the Workgroup name and all matched. While I
had MS Broadband Utility on my laptop open I tried again to view something on my desktop ... this time it allowed me once I logged on. At that point I went back to Explorer as you mentioned on a previous note and still nothing there. Only when I went in thru the MS Broadband Utility could I view anything on the other PC. I rebooted the laptop to see if it work a 2nd time and it allowed me to access again but only from the Utility and again only after I logged in thru the Utility. I guess this brings up a new set of questions. 1) Must I always go thru the Utility to access? 2) What is missing to have it show up in Explorer?

Well I was persistant during this evening and I finally
found ways to map the drives from the desktop onto the laptop. What I ended up doing was opening the desktop from the MSBN Utility then right clicked what I wanted to map and selected map network drive. Did soemthing similar for the printer that I setup to share. Still very odd about the Explorer My Network Places not showing anything, but oh well at least It now works. Thanks for all your help and effort. Craig >-----Original Message----- >I don't know, Craig. I've never used the utility.
