I purchased the Microsoft wireless desktop kit mn-610...I want to connect 2 computes as well as a shares DSL internet connection. One computer is running windows ME....the other is connected to base station and it runs XP. I have set it all up, and the shared internet connection works fine.....but I can't access any computer on the network.....when I go to My network places on both computers, there is nothing there.....I tried the setup wizard 4 times now...have changed the working group names and computer names so the are unique. I have made sure that my drives are shared....This is the 1st time I have done a network...Anyone have any suggestions????

Do you use any software firewall on any of the PCs? Try disabling them if you have.

Changed the work group names? Those should be the same for all the comps... Such as WORKGROUP, or INSERTNAMEHERE. That could be one problem. And so your DSL/Cable goes into the base station, and one comp is connected straight into the WAP and the other is wireless? Or are they both wireless? Have you installed the software? Since it's a Microsoft product it probably needs the software.(

Turn off the XP firewall on the local area connections.
