Have recently set up a home network through my wireless ADSL router, set up with one pc wired to the router and another pc wirelessly connected. I used the XP Home Networking wizard on the first PC (and enabled filesharing) and then installed the same settings on the other pc with a flash drive.
The problem is this: The wired pc seems to be networked fine, but can only see itself in the workgroup. The wireless pc can only see an empty workgroup, when trying to access this workgroup after a long wait it tells me that my firewall is preventing filesharing access on the pc. I have Norton IS2004 on that pc but have it disabled and the XP firewall disabled too, so no firewall issues! The wired pc has F-Secure2005 and will work disabled or enabled.
ok have found and run the norton wizard now. f-secure has no wizard so configured it manually, now i can see the wired pc under the workgroup on both pcs, but cant see the wireless pc at all. will try again later as off out now
yeah cos your wired is likely to have a different ip and hence you need to manually add the wireless ip into norton. Doens't your router come with an NAT firewall?
