File Sharing Problem
I hope this is the appropriate newsgroup for this issue. =20
If not, please direct me to the correct one. I have 2 home computers hooked-up to a wireless network=20 via a Linksys router. I use the network for Internet,=20 printer and file sharing. One computer is a desktop HP=20 with Win ME; the other is an IBM laptop with Win 98. =20 Recently, I have not able to use the file-sharing=20 feature. (The Internet and printer sharing capabilities=20 still work O.K.). When I try to access the desktop files from the laptop, I=20 get the following when I click on the shortcut: “The drive or network connection that the shortcut ‘HP C=20 Drive.Ink’ refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the=20 disk is properly inserted or the network is available and=20 then try again.” When I try to access the laptop from the desktop, I get=20 the following: “The shortcut ‘IBM Drop Box.Ink’ refers to a location = that=20 is unavailable. The location could be on a hard drive on=20 this computer, on a network, or on a different computer on=20 your home network. Check to make sure that the disk is=20 properly inserted, or that you are connected to the=20 Internet or home network, and the try again.” When I click on O.K., I then get the following: C:\WINDOWS\NetHood\laptop on Ibm refers to a location that=20 is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this=20 computer, on a network, or on a different computer on your=20 home network. Check to make sure that the disk is=20 properly inserted, or that you are connected to the=20 Internet or home network, and then try again. If it still=20 cannot be locate, the information might have been moved to=20 a different location. Both computers are on when I try this and it appears the=20 network is up and running, as I am able to access the=20 Internet and printer from both computers. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, |
