trying to join vista machine to a workgroup
i am so frustrated. i hope i can find some help here. i have a laptop with xp
media which is wirelessly connected and a desktop with vista connected with ethernet. i'm using a linksys wrt54g router. i have internet up and running perfectly on both of them, i just can't get the filesharing to work. i have both machines logged in with the same username and password. my workgroup is named. i see the laptop icon on the vista machine but it won't connect- says to check the spelling of the name or call my administrator. the laptop recognizes the pc, but won't accept the username/password. i've had success pinging the pc from the laptop, but the ping from the pc to the laptop times out. i've tried enabling the netbios over the ip, which worked for someone else here, but to no avail. any other suggestions? this is the first time i've done anything like this, so if i'm missing anything or saying something wrong, please let me know. thank you in advance for any ideas you can toss out to me!
