I recently bought a new laptop and wanted to set up a home network with my desktop. I used the windows home networking setup program they have. My desktop is able to see my laptop when i click on view workgroup computers. But my laptop is unable to see my desktop. When i click on view workgroup computers i get an error saying that i dont have permission to use the network resources and that the list of servers for the workgroup is not currently available. I've tried alot of things but still no luck. Shouldn't i be able to at least see my own computer when i click on view workgroups? Also when i try to access my laptop from my desktop i get an error saying i dont have permission to. The account name and password is the same. Lastly the workgroup names are identical on both computers so that is not that issue. Could someone please help? is it possible to reset my network options on my laptop so i can run the windows home networking setup program again? Forgot to mention that im using an old SMC router if that makes any difference.
thanks
