OK guys, thanks for the help so far.


I followed Network set up wizard initially and it appeared to be OK (no error messages) but obviously it is not correct.

Both 'Desktop' and 'laptop' are in the same workgroup called 'Home' but they can't see each other. I tried pinging both ways without success.

If I open explorer>my network places>entire network>ms windows network>home then I get error message on main PC (desktop) saying " Home is not accessible. You might not have permission to use the network resource. Contact the administrator of this server.

On the laptop I can access 'Home' and it shows a computer called 'Laptop' with shared docs/printers etc but obviously no sign of the 'Desktop'

Where do I go from here?

As an aside on the desktop the 'Computer Description' box is blank. Don't think it means anything but worth a mention.
