After clean install of win 7, network problems
I have two Win 7 Pro 64-bit computers that used to be in a home network, but after a crash and reinstall of Win 7 on one of the computers, I can't connect well to the other computer. I can see the other computer in each of the computer's network windows, but when I double-click on the other computer's icon, it allows me to see "default" and "public" users, but not the user that I need to (this goes both ways). How can I change this? I am a real novice with networks and could really use your help. Thanks.
also: one computer says it is connected to "Local Area Connection" and the other one says it is connected to "Local Area Connection 2". And the one that says it is connected to "Local area connection 2" shows "Local Area Connection" with a red X (when I open up "change adapter settings") and says the network cable is unplugged, but I know it isn't unplugged.
also: One computer says it is part of "Network" and the other says it is a part of "Network 2".
