Dear friends, the situation is dire!! I recently purchased a new computer. I have DSL.. Let me try to explain what I'm doing here.....
The DSL comes from the wall and plugs into a cordless network adapter thing. A cord then goes from that adapter into Computer A. Computer A has "the internet" on it. Computer B is in the basement. Plugged into the back of it is a "USB stick" which is basically some kind of wireless thingy that is supposed to be able to connect to the adapter. I "set up" the network with the help of windows and Computer B also has "the internet" on it.
So two computers. Both have the internet working. With me so far...
I want the two computers to be networked together so I can move files from one to the other by clicking "My Network Places" or whatever here in windows. This is were the problem comes in!
Computer B: When I click My Network Places it shows me two folders, on that is Computer B's shared folder and one that is Computer A's shared folder. I can take files from Comp A onto Comp B. Good. This is what I want..
Computer A: When I click My Network Places the only folder I see is Computer A's shared folder which if I put stuff into it I can download it onto Comp B.
Why isn't it letting me download from Comp B to Comp A? Thats the only thing that isn't working. I have this shared folder.. It says it is set up to allow file transfers.....
