Problems with wireless router and adapter

First of all I ran www.Linksys.com/easy, which installs automatically router
on my “Upstairs� computer and then went and used the Linksys.com’s file
developed “Upstairs� at Linksys.com/easy, and installed the Linksys Adapter
on the “Downstairs� computer. Yet, “Upstairs� computer, if I go into My
Network Places, lists two folders on the “Downstairs� computer, i.e.
DesktopStore on Gateway (Downstairs), and, Documents on Gateway (Downstairs).
On the “Upstairs� computer it lists SharedDocs on hp Pavilion a650y
(Upstairs).

“Upstairs� I can access both “Upstairs� and “Downstairs� computers, but if I
go “Downstairs,� and I’ve run www.Linksys.com/easy a second time to be sure,
when I go down there, it lists only one of the two folders listed
“Downstairs,� and none of the “Upstairs� computer’s My Network Places.

I’ve tried everything including rerunning Linksys.com/easy. Can anyone
help? I can access “Downstairs� from “Upstairs� but I can’t access
“Upstairs� from “Downstairs,� because there's no folder to "Upstairs." Why?

This could be a firewall problem. try temporarily disabling all firewalls and
log on as admin on all computers

see if this helps

Hope that helped

I fixed this by accidently comming across a warning or error message that
told me my File and folder Sharing feature had been shut off on my Upstairs
computer for security reasons. I assume it was one of my Spyware or Adware
(i.e. SpySweeper or Ad-Aware, maybe even a very recent download by Window XP
for Security files, I'm not sure, but I had to turn that feature back on.
Reason I'm here, I forgot where that feature is. Can anyone tell me where
the feature for a computer using Win XP Home Edition is that turns on/off
File and Folder Sharing?
