Solved Can't connect to other VISTA computer on my network? (Worked before)

So instead of getting a wireless printer, I usually connect one laptop to the main desktop (both on vista Home premium) via wireless connection. It worked before, but now I get an error message when I try to connect to the desktop computer

Cannot access \\[computername]-PC
Check spelling of the name, otherwise there might be a problem with your network.
Error: Network path timed out.

The ONLY thing I have done since it was working was set up a WPA key on my Dlink 615 router.

Any suggestions welcome.

You may Want to set up a Ad Hoc Connection between the Computer and that way you can Exchange Folders and Files

Click Start> Connect to

Then Click Set up a Connection or Network

Then Click A Wireless Ad hoc Connection

And enter the Information as needed and Make sure you Password Protect it or any Computers in your Area can Connect and copy your Files to their computers


Hope This Helps,
Josh
