File Sharing Problem across Wireless network

[rasETL]

I am trying to allow File and Printer sharing over my Wireless Network.

The Main Computer which has a hard-wried connection to the Router can access files and printers through my daughters Toshiba Laptop. However, she cannot access anything on the main computer.

Went through the Network Connection Wizard and all looks OK. She can use the Wireless Network to access the Internet. When she tries to access the Main Computer she gets a Window that tells her she does not have permission to access the computer: \\ComputerName.

What am I missing?

In a basic network scheme (especially for a home network), there's nothing wrong with using XP Home. It just works a little different from XP Pro.

If you would have made sure you were sharing a folder NOT located under Documents and Settings, you should have been able to get it to work.

Good luck with the new configuration though!
