Setup a wireless LAN
Hello everyone,
I've bought a wireless router (TP-LINK) and I want to setup a wireless LAN between my laptop and desktop PC. I've access to internet on both my laptop and desktop. But the only problem I have now is I cannot access files of my desktop from my laptop and vice versa. I've got Win 7 Home Premium and Win 7 Ultimate installed on my laptop and desktop respectively. I've tried a few times to setup but in vain. I need a way to achieve the same. I would appreciate any help. Thank you in advance. Last edited by blurry.flurry; 11-24-2011 at 12:26 AM. |

If both computers are Windows 7, set up a Homegroup.

Thanks glc for the reply. I created a homegroup on my laptop and when I opened the Homegroup from CP I received a message 'Join now' on my desktop. I supplied the correct password but unfortunately I couldn't connect. I'm receiving the following error:
Windows cannot set up a homegroup on this computer. |

Are you using 3rd party firewall software?

That's the problem. The firewall is blocking it. Configure it properly or get rid of it.

No luck. I disabled the firewall on both my laptop and desktop computer. I've AVG Internet Security and Norton Internet Security installed on my desktop PC and laptop respectively.
I disabled the Smart Firewall feature on NIS but still no luck. Under Network Security map I've allowed connection from my desktop PC as well. |

Uninstall Norton and see if that helps.
