I have a laptop and a desktop computer that I'm trying to network. Both comps use xp home. Desktop comp is connected hardwire thru cable modem and then into the Linksys W54G wireless router. Lap top is wireless. Both are connected to the internet correctly and working fine.
What I want to do is to use the laptops 2nd partition to backup the desktop comp. (using N Ghost12)
I have run the network setup wizard on both comps and both computers show in the dir tree under:
My network places/Entire network/MS Windows Network.
If, for example I click on Laptopworkgroup from the Desktop comp, I get the following error:
'Laptopworkgroup is not available' and vice versa.
Not sure if I'm going about this correctly, and I'm stumped as to what to do now.
Thanks for any advice/help
