hey,
me and a friend set up a wireless workgroup at my house yesterday so my laptop can access my files and printer on the desktop and it works fine everythings great.
but today i went to a differant friends house to help him set a wireless workgroup for the same thing at his house, but for some reason when we try to access the desktop over the network it says not allowed etc... yes i know this normally means conflicting ip addresses or whatever or firewall... but this is with the firewall off even though ive set the ip addresses in the firewall (ZA)
anyway the thing that i do not understand at all is that the printer that is attached to his computer works over the network!!!!!!!??!!!
i dont know how this can be possible!!
does anyone know why it should not be letting us access the network other than printer.
and also the network works if u access the files on the laptop from the desktop so this is weird.
please help
