I am running a Vista computer ("#1") hardwired to a Linksys wrt54G
router, and an XP computer ("#2") via Linksys wireless. All software
updated, all firewalls and antiviruses disabled. All in the same
workgroup, all permissions to share the C: drives. All can get on the
internet.
Computer #2 can access #1's public files but no others. And Computer # 1
cannot even see computer #2 - "Access denied" error # 0x80070005. As a
check, both can easily access and write files on a third computer, a
laptop running Vista, so I know the router and network are OK.
I just spent an hour and a half with the Dell "advanced support" who
tried fiddling with every setting he knows how; he could only suggest
reinstalling everything and see if that works (Happily, there's no
charge when the problem isn't solved).
An suggestion where to start? I especially want to be able to access #2
from #1 to set up automated backups.
