Network puzzle
Can anybody help before I become even more hairless! I've been trying to sort out this for many hours.
I have -
- a recently purchased Windows 7 Pro Lenovo T420 laptop which is wireless
- an XP Pro IBM T43 wireless laptop
- a Dell XP Home desktop connected to my wireless router by Ethernet cable - no wireless card
The problem is that the T420 is unable to access files in a shared desktop folder on the Dell. The following information may help -
- The T420 sees the Dell desktop shared folders and sub-folder, but not its files
- The T420 sees the T43 shared folder and files
- The T43 sees the Dell shared folder and sub-folder and files
- The T43 sees the T420 shared folder and files
- The Dell sees both the T420 and T43 shared folders and files
So far as I'm aware I've set all the appropriate "sharings" and permissions. The three machines are all in the same workgroup. The T420 is set to "Work Network", and is not in a Homegroup.
I've read numerous on-line discussions regarding network problems, but not come across this issue.
I'd be grateful for any helpful thoughts. Thank you..
