|  Home networking I did it once but for some reasons it's not working anymore. I have 2 laptops and 2 desktops that I would like to put on a home network. All I see is the folders of the respective computers, they can't seem to be on the network at all. I remember it was under MShome network. What did I miss???

| Colonel Calamity  | Re: Home networking make sure any folder or printer that you want shared on any computer is shared (right click it and choose Sharing and Security...).  Thanks HL and Corsair! My opinions are my own and not representative of this site or its members.  |

| Re: Home networking Yeah I did all that. I can see those folders on the computer itself but not from another computer. Intel Q6600 Corsaire 2x1gb XMS2 GIGABYTE 965P-DQ6 BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 320 OCZ EvoStream 720w XP PRO |

Try pinging the other computers on your network, if you get a reply then the computers can see each other. Are you running any firewalls other then the windows firewall?   | |

| 5 Minute Mod Man  | Re: Home networking If you are behind a router, sometimes each computer's firewall can cause an issue, so you may want to try to turn off the firewalls. Also, I know you mentioned the workgroups, but double check them to make sure they are all the same (MSHOME). Right click My Computer, click properties, Click Computer Name tab and the workgroup is displayed in there... There is also a 'setup a home or small office network' wizard in one of the left menus in My Network Places (which can be found in a left menu while viewing My Computer). GL!

| Re: Home networking Router settings should be checked as well. If you're not sure what they should be, reset them to defaults. Yes, it is more than likely a system setting issue rather than the router, but always good to check (and become familiar with the router settings).
