Hi,


I've asked a question recently about configuring an ad hoc network.
Unfortunately I couldn't solve the problem.

So I've tried another solution: instead of an ad hoc network, a simple
wireless network with a router, a desktop with windows xp professional and a
notebook with vista home premium. I want the pcs to share folders and to
access the internet.

After trying many suggestions I've read in internet, I could manage to have
the two pcs view each other. But when I try to access them,I get an error
telling me I can't access the other pc.

These are the solutions I've already tried, without any success: disable the
firewalls (all of them); setting the same account with same password on both
pcs; set an IP adress for both pcs (192.168.2.3 and 192.168.2.4 ,
255.255.255.0 as a subnet mask for both, 192.168.2.1 as gateway for both and
192.168.2.1 as DNS for both); disable the dhcp server on the router; share
some folders on the two pcs.

That's all I've tried so far. Could anyone suggest me a possible solution?

Thank you very much

You complicate things. Run the XP home network setup wizard to share files
and printer.
You have already been advised what to do about Vista'a settings.

I've run the xp home network wizard and configured Vista's settings as the
how-to says.

This is the error I get when I try to access the vista pc from xp (I'll
translate it in english):

"Impossible to access \\COMPUTERNAME. The user could not have enough rights
to use this net resource. Not able to find the network path."


And when I access the xp comp from vista i get this error:

"Impossible to access \\COMPUTERNAME - A network component doesn't work
properly. A Layered Service Provider isn't up-to-date."

And below I have the option to "delete the component that doesn't work
properly"


What sould I do??

Do a simple test, if you turn off the firewall on both computers, can you
ping each other by IP?
