No "My Network Places"
This refers only to WinXP/2. If there is a better NG I would appreciate
being told about it. I have two PCs on a home network. Both PCs use WinXP/2. The desktop PC is connected to the router via Ethernet wire. The laptop is connected wirelessly. Both PCs can access the Internet. Both can access Outlook Express for emails and NGs. Both PCs can ping each other (after configuration of the software firewall) and "localhost" etc. In Start the laptop displays "My Network Places" below "My Computer." In Start the desktop does not display "My Network Places." I can access shared files on the laptop from the desktop. I cannot access shared files on the desktop from the laptop. I set up both PCs alongside each other so that both would be configured the same. How do I obtain "My Network Places" on my desktop? Thanks in advance, Peter.
