Using these instructions above it *seems* like I made some
progress. I can now see the Desktop *icon* in the Network Tasks
which I never could see before. But when I click it/double click it
I get an error message that says:
______________________
\\Desktop is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to
find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found.
______________________
Both computers are set up as Admin, there is only one user on each
one and both are set as Administrator.
A ping of the laptop: ping Desktop says it isn't found. Using the
"Search for Computers" command it also finds the desktop.
Now ... more progress (but I had to do it all using the manual labor
way - nothing is working automatically for me and both computers are
WinXP Home Edition) ... I was able to share a folder! But I can't
get the printer sharing to work. The printer software/drivers are
installed on both computers and both are set up as shared. But even
doing it manually (Add a Network Place) it keeps telling me that "The
folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose
another." So, it's working but it's not kind of thing - I have one
folder shared but no printer sharing. From the examples they give it
appears that I only need two segments for the name and I'm using
\\LAPTOP\CanonMP5 which is following their "syntax" examples (syntax
for lack of better word?). Any ideas?
