Hi David,
Yes, I've tried the setup wizard several times with no luck. I will try
turning off the zone alarm and see if that helps.
Thanks,
Ken

Well I may have said this before but I have found that repeated use of the
network setup wizard cured a problem for me once. That is I ran the setup
repeatedly but I guess that you will have already tried that.
Personally I would turn the firewall off on machine 1 temporarily just to
eliminate the firewalls as a problem.
More specifically I would turn zone alarm off and enable windows firewall
on
machine 1 and run the setup again on both machines just to check that
there
is not a rogue setting in Zone Alarm causing a problem. I am suspicious of
Zone Alarm as it seems the most likely culprit for stopping Machine 2 from
seeing machine 1. |
There is a risk with turning all firewalls off including windows firewall.
I
cannot really see how the Windows firewall is causing a problem but in
your
position I would probably do this quickly just to eliminate the firewall
setup as a problem.
I hope tings are sorted as I'm really worried about your hair.

Hi guys,
Yes, I have enabled file and printer sharing on computer #1 and one folder
plus an external hard drive I have hooked to computer #1.
Computer #1 uses zone alarm free addition for the firewall and Avast for
the
anti virus. Computer #2 only uses the Windows firewall and I'm not sure
what
is being used for the anti-virus. It is my wife's computer - and does not
have JAWS installed on it because it caused some conflicts with some
programs she uses - so I'll have to ask her when she gets home. I do know
however that it is not MacAfee as we both can't stand that product.
I did make sure the network name is exactly the same and the computer
descriptions are different.
I've tried everything I can think of but can't figure it out.
Since computer #2 is being connected wirelessly, could there be some kind
of
setting in the wireless connection that would not allow it to see computer
#1 while allowing computer #1 to see files on computer #2?
I'm pulling my hair out on this one and at the rate it's going, I should
be
bald in about 2 days.
