WiFi shows in Network but can't access

[DaveLikesUE]

Hi people,

Glad I found this great site. I recently got DSL and a Siemens 6520 Wifi and Router.

The wired machines all still work fine through the new Router. I have a laptop that connects via WiFi to the modem and works fine for the Internet.

On the w2000 machine the laptop appears in the

My Network places
Computers near me

...but when I click it I get...

//AcerPortable is not accessible
The Network path was not found

How can I get these two computers to share files over WiFi?

Thank in advance.

Dave

#1 File and Print Sharing has to be able on the remote PC
#2 Either disable the Windows XP Built in firewall and allow incoming connection on remote PC.
#3 Make sure both computer are in the same network group

If these three simple steps will help you connect to other PC.

Cheers
