Networking Two Computers - How???

Thanks for looking to help. I have a laptop and a desktop that I want to network. Both are running XP. Both are connected to a router if that makes a difference.

I am just glad to find out that I not the only donk that can't figure this out. I have tried and tried with no results (other than failure).

Ta-don't. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Tried that but couldn't get it to work. I'll try again today, maybe I missed something.

Don't know.

Rather than create a new thread, I have a desktop running Win98 and a laptop running XP Home Edition. I want to wirless network these...the desktop pluged into the router.

Will there be any problem given that these run separate operating systems?

Thanks,
Leavenfish

I worked on this for about a week. Network Setup Wizard never worked I finally called Dell. It was my new 6000 I was trying to set up. They were very helpful and walked me through it. It took some doing, and I can’t remember what all we did. If you have a Dell give them a call. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

They need to be part of the same domain.
Right click on my computer, and go to properties. Go to network ID, and click properties. Type in a domain name or use the default 'Workgroup' one. Do this on both computers, then you should be able to see them when you look on your local network.
