| i've got a win xp pro box, a win xp home laptop and am using a Buffalo g54 Air Station plus cards, but no matter how I try I can only share an internet connection (Broadband).
I've used all the wizards,same workgroup,shared all files etc still no luck they still dont show up on My Network Places. However when I ping from the pro box the laptop awnsers back but when its done from the laptop I get lost Packets or request timed out.

yes, sorta. I assume you are using the default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 too?
The default gateway on both is the router
address?
Can you ping the router from the Laptop? | |

But when you try to ping the PC, from the Laptop, you receive the packet loss messages?
Have you tried mapping a drive to the Laptop from the PC using UNC?
Are you sure the Workgroup names are spelled the same? I had a system that had a space at the very end of the Workgroup name, difficult to see, unless you went to the end of the word used. Just a thought. | |

| I've tryed different workgroups including the defult MSHOME but im not sure what you mean by UNC?

UNC, short for Universal Naming Convention.
such as net use J: \\NetBiosName\ShareName | |

NetbiosName == ComputerName
Sharename == Name you've given to a share
on the system. Say for example I have a system named NW60 and have shared a folder on that system with a share name of Users.
Now I want to map a drive to the share on this system and want it to be my J: drive.
The commmand line would look like this.
net use j: \\NW60\Users<press enter>
Follow me yet? I am opening a command prompt to do the above too.
Take a look at this also to see if it helps you sort it out. | |
