Error: Computer name not spelled correctly
I have 2 computers on a wireless network. They are both running Vista build
5600. On one computer I see all other computers on the network and have full access to the shared files. The second computer sees the other computers on the network but when I try to access them I get a error that the name is spelled incorrectly. I have changed the name of my computer and it updated on the network. I still get the same error message when trying to access my computer from the second computer. I have verified that all of the settings are set the same. I.E. Network discovery and file sharing. Is this just a setting I have missed? I need to get this set up for printer sharing. I am using a Belkin router and both computers are using Belkin wireless cards. There is no outside software running on these machines. I do have Live OneCare on my computer but not on the second one. Please help.

Error: Computer name not spelled correctly
I've seen this because of file sharing. On the computers that can't be
accessed, are you sharing folders? Also, are you using simple file sharing, or user authenticated? -B "Knnt" wrote in message ... I have 2 computers on a wireless network.

I have the entire C: drive shared because I already thought of this. As for
the file sharing I have no idea it is still set at the factory settings. "Brad" wrote: I've seen this because of file sharing. On the computers that can't be accessed, are you sharing folders?
