Hi, maybe not the right forum to ask, I'll try anyway.
My old pc runs on XPhome, contains all of my drawings, blocks etc.
Got a new Laptop from the company running windows Vista.
Connected both via a router.
Whatever I've tried the last few weeks, I just can't access my old
computer from the laptop side.
Internet access from both: ok
I can access the laptop from my old computer, can copy, move, edit and
delete files on the laptop.
I've tried with firewall, without firewall, no success.
Netbios is set automatic on both.
TCPIP(4) is present, just as is file and printer sharing.
Workgroup is the same.
All I get is \\computer is not available. Check your rights.
It is shown in the network tree.
Ofcourse I can go to the basement, copy the files I need to the laptop
and than work on but that's not the idea is it?
Can anyone shine a light on this issue?
I've checked all options I could find so far.
Regards,
Jan
