Wireless networking help required
5 Answers
I'm looking for help on setting up a wireless peer to peer connection through Windows XP.
Having bought the necessary D-Link hardware for my laptop and mt PC, i'm having real problems getting them to transmit data.
I'm pretty sure that I have installed everything correctly and in my network placed it has picked up each of the computers correctly, however when try t oaccess either of them it informs me that I do not have the necessary authority to access the other PC.
I'm probably missing something really obvious but if there are any networking experts out there then any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Computers in a peer-to-peer network are not authenticating to anything but themselves (ie you are not on a domain and are not authenticated by a domain controller). Therefore each machine is acting like the DC for a network of 1 computer. Ensure both computers are under the same workgroup name (eg WORKGROUP) and that you are logging on to both of them as the same person (ideally as Administrator). Also XP home is much worse for networking than XP Pro.
