workgroup problem

[hardwareuser]

I've set up file and printer sharing for a few computers, some of which are wired to a router (through a switch) and some of which are connected to the same router wirelessly. The workgroup name is the same for all, and the computer names are unique. The computer that is wirelessly connected can't seem to see the computers that are wired. Is there some special thing that needs to be done?

If your Wireless connection actually work (i.e. it can be used for Internet surfing through the Router), then it probably has nothing to do with the Wireless but it is rather the classical Sharing problem.

May be this can Help, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

JackMDS. That's a great tutorial. I am having a similar problem (But different.) I am running a network consisting of

desktop (xp pro SP1)
Laptop (XP Home)
Xbox

What I would like to do is use my desktop as a file source for streaming music to my xbox. I can do this fine using my laptop. I have configured my network pretty much like the tutorial. Here is what happens.

The desktop can not be found in my network places. When I try to go throught the workgroups it gives me an error saying the workgroup not available. I CAN find the computer by doing a direct search for the computers name (desktop) OR if I input the IP of my computer in the Xbox. This will show me my shared folders BUT I can not open them. When I try to open the folders I get an error. The first line or two says "\\destop\folder is not accesable you might not have permision to use this network. please contact the admin" but under that it gives me a second error "Not enough server storage is available to process this command"

I have already used the administrator control panal to enable logon without passwords and some other permission stuff so I don't think that is the problem.

Any ideas. At this point I'm pretty frusterated and may just buy a seperate NAS unit and save the hassel BUT I'd still would like to use my desktop on the LAN to copy the files.

Thanks

PS- This is also going out as a seperate thread.
