Apologies for TOT - am hopeful someone may be able to point me to some "facts" amongst the usual plethora of "solutions" I'm wading thru on that t'interweb thing...
Summary: Plus Net broadband,via Thomson Wireless Router/DSL box. XP Home SP2 on desktop, XP Home SP3 on EEE notebook,
Both can access internet, emails etc no bother.
Managed to nearly set up a wireless network between two for file and print sharing - network is visible, each computer can see the other (ping OK, and seeing each other in XP too)
BUT
File/folder sharing is always denied?!
When trying to share folders (from either computer) - rightclick on a folder, "sharing and security", the "share folder on network" and "allow users to change files" checkboxes are greyed out??
Suspect this is down to NTFS file permissions but now banging my head how to to proceed...
Any pointers please?
