Noton Personal Firewall was the answer. It was blocking all network traffic, reconfigured it and bobs your uncle | |

You do NOT need Internet Connection Sharing. Your router is doing this job. Turn that off on the computers. | |

Run it again but select do nothing instead of make a network disc. I have a similar setup and it works on mine. | |

Yes. Set it to share files and printers and run the network disk on all the computers. Still not working | |

Have you "set up home or small office network" via My Network Places? | |

i think you may need Professional. Hence why you're getting the admin errors coming up. | |

theres a 64 digit randomly generated acces code (win xp) try re-setting up the network, print everything it asks you to print and you'll have the code, if the code doesn't work knock the last digit off and try again :thumbs: | |

make sure they are on the same workgroup and then right click on a folder you want to share and go to security and sharing. Select share this folder then go to My Network Places on the other machine and it will be there. | |

you would need to install network cards I think :boggle: Assign the laptop an ip address and then enable internet connection sharing. This will let you browse the files and folders as well. | |
