Ok here's the deal my network was working and then vanished. I've renamed computers and workgroup. Computer "A" shows both computers in the workgroup, but when i try to access computer "B" i get the whole i might need admin thing. When i check workgroups on comp "B" only comp "B" shows up. I can ping both ip's from A to B and vice versa. Tried net magic on both comps and in it comp b shows a connection to a. However when on comp A computer B doesn't even show up. Setup is as follows Comp A wired to the wireless router and B is wireless, both work on the net fine but i can't share files. Any ideas?

What happens when you try to access a shared file on comp B from comp A.

Do you have the username that you use to log into into comp A setup as a user on comp B and have you allowed that user permission to access the shared folders on comp B and vice versa.

Do you have static ip addresses or are they assigned by DHCP?

Have you tried mapping network drives to access the shared files - this is generally the best method when your constantly accessing files on both pc's across the network. Please let me know in your next post if you would like more info on this.

It's back to normal, i turned the show the upnp device on the side on comp B and everything is back to normal. Case closed and so is this thread thanks

Glad you managed to sort it out. Will mark as resolved.
