Need help adding a new HP laptop to an existing XP home network.?
I have asked this question once and the 4 answer I recieved were of no help. Hoping a second asking will net better reults. I have print and file sharing turned on as I am able to share printers and files between the 2 desktops that make up the original network in this problem:
I have a new HP laptop running XP. I have two desktops running XP that are currently networked via a LinksysG (model WRT54GS v4). The network is encrypted with WEP. I have been able to add the laptop to the network and access the internet but I am having trouble accessing the shared printers and files on the desktops from the laptop. I can see the laptop from the other computers when I view the workgroup, but I can't see the other computers when I view the workgroup from the laptop. When I have tried to add a shared printer I get a message that I may not have permission....contact the administrator). I have stepped through the help files several times with no success. PLEASE HELP!
