"(computer) unavailable" on home network
I'm trying to put together a home network using a
Microsoft wireless router. All 3 computers are able to access the Web through the router, but not able to access one another. I have confirmed that they: 1) all have the same WORKGROUP assigned 2) all have folders designated as "Shared" Still, when I try to access one computer from another via MS's Broadband Network Utility, the other computers are not identified by name (only by IP addresses) and I am told "computer unavailable" or "no information for device available." What other settings have I missed? |

"(computer) unavailable" on home network
On each computer, make sure NetBIOS is enabled and the firewall is disabled.
If using SP2, you can simply check the box for to allow File and printer sharing on the firewall. Doug Sherman MCSE Win2k/NT4.0, MCSA, MCP+I, MVP "dylan" wrote in message ...
