Re: Wireless HELPPPPPPPP!!!!

What router are you using?

Have you run the network wizard on both computers?

Have you got a software firewall?

dont know if this affects anything, but my computer doesnt have a wireless network card installed! only the laptop does! so is it still possible to access the computer files via the laptop since the computer is connected directly to the router???

Re: Wireless HELPPPPPPPP!!!!

It doesn't matter how you've connected the PC and Laptop to the router, they should still be able to see each other.
