Hope someone can help,as I feel like giving up. Ive read the networking guides on this website and believe Ive got everything set up but still cant get my laptop to see my home pc or vice versa. I am running xp pro at home and xp home on work computer,work computer using novell for work network. Have installed a usb wireless card,dlink make in home pc and netgear ma521 pmcia card in laptop. Both see each other on the wireless network,nad both cards manuals say they are installed correctly,my problem is I cant see the laptop in my network places or vice versa. Think it is to do with ip addresses,but am hopeless at these things. I do have a broadband router that I use on my home pc,connected by usb and ethernet for my xbox,it does seem to have a dhcp server,but want to get my network working before worrying about internet access for my laptop.
Any pointers or ideas?
