| | Can't access printer or shared files Hello, I have a desktop running Vista Ultimate and a laptop with XP. I'm using a Belkin Pre n router and I can connect both computers to the internet, desktop is wired and laptop is wireless. My problem I started a home network and can open files that are on my laptop using the desktop but can't get files that are on my desktop to my laptop. My printer is also connected to the desktop and I can't print from the laptop. While I'm on the same workgroup I get the message " \\ (desktop computer name) is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permission. Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer". This is a home network so I guess I'm the administrator. I've tried changing computer names, deleting passwords and stopping McAfee firewall. I really need to print from my laptop without directly connecting the printer. Please help, I have spent many hours trying to fix and I think I'm only making it worse. Thanks Charlie |
