Now, what ive done so far is purchased a wireless modem/router and have managed to get that working and connected to the internet and I can access the internet on both my desktop ( which is connected to the router via ethernet) and the laptop (wireless). Now I want to transfer all my files and stuff from on to the other but I cant seem to be able to get the two pc's to talk to each other. Anyone with any sort of knowledge or help un this subject would be greatly appreciated as this is giving me the right royal sh*ts. Add me on msn da_bikeman@hotmail.com to chat.CheersGav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the router will most likely have a firewall as well. Check the settings to make sure they are not blocking packets between the 2 computers.

TheBoss Member 19 Member For: 19y 7m 24d Location: Perth, Western Australia Posted 25/02/07 07:43 AM Share Posted 25/02/07 07:43 AM Make sure that the Windows XP firewall is set on, but don't tick the checkbox labelled "Don't allow execptions".Also check the obvious things like ping your desktop PC from your wireless notebook. Can you ping it? If yes than it's a good sign:) If not check these obvious things as well: the IP addresses if they both desktop and laptop are in the same subnet (in english do the first three sets of numbers of your IP address are the same) Example, if your desktop is say 192.168.0.1, is your notebook Ip address 192.168.1.xxx (xxx = any number from 1 - 254)?Try these and see how you go. If you need more info, please PM me.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
