Since just before we left for the summer, we've had problems with our desktop and laptop talking to each other on our home network. We have cable coming into a Motorola modem connected to a D-Link "g" router. The desktop is connected via ethernet cable (but the same problem when I switch to a wireless adapter) and the laptop via wi-fi.
My laptop connects to the desktop via My Network Places and I am able to transfer files between the computers using the laptop. My desktop does not see the laptop and I cannot synchronize the computers because of that. I get an error message on the desktop:
"\\laptop not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. ... The network path was not found."
The desktop lists the laptop on "view network computers" but gives me the above error message if I try to connect.
Any suggestions ??? ???
