Hiya everyone,

I just replaced my computers and cant seem to get network working.
I have a linksys 4 port router i use to network them. I ran the network set-up wizard and while it shows both pc's it will not let me access the one I am not on at the time. when i click on it I get the following message:


\\secondary is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this source. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The network path was not found.

Any Ideas?
Thx in advance

Oh Yeah if I am on the secondary pc it doesnt show the primary in my network places

Make sure that you have a duplicate user on both PC's.

ON BOTH PC's - this should give you the rights and permissions you need.

Have you enabled file- and printersharing at all?
Is there any firewall running?

yes I have file sharing and print sharing enabled as for duplicate users? this one I dont get. are you saying I need to created multiple desktops?

No, you just need to set up exactly the same user on both of the PCs. So, for example, if you have a user called John on PC no1 with a password of shoes, you need to set the same user and password up on PC no2.

can this be done without re-installing windows? those settings were done during set-up If I am Understanding you correctly
