hi i have a small home network and its been up and runing. it containts a wireless network connection, a sharing folder and a shared printer. i got a new pc and its recognized by the "host" computer after using the net setup disk to set it up but it doesn't acciess it the network's "stuff". it doesnt see a printer, or the shared folder. it also cant view the other computers. the host pc sees it but when the host tries to view whats on the new pc, it simply comes up w/ an error saying somthing and "network path unreachable" something along those lines. the new pc runs xp MCE and all the others run either XP H.E. or Pro. it can access the internet, but not other stuff. help?
Home network problem?
It is probably the firewall settings on the new computer.
Check to see if local computers are allowed.
Reply:Did you turn on all the nodes that you want on your network and then use Network Wizard to make them ALL part of the same network, meaning they all have to be part of the SAME NAMED network or workgroup?
Turn off any firewalls you have up.
Reply:Is the computers firewall on ?
Reply:Have you given your workgroup a name?
All the machines should be in the same workgroup if you want them to access each other.
