Hello,

I have a linksys WAP between a main desktop and a laptop in the other room.
The Linksys seems to be working fine as both computers connect to the
internet.

However, I took my laptop out of town and must have messed up the
configuration....

...cause while it still connects to the internet...I can NOT seem to share
files between the two computers.

In other words, when I go to EXPLORER (I have xp)...then NETWORK...then
ENTIRE NETWORK....then MICROSOFT WINDOWS NETWORK...I do not see the icon for
my desktop (and of course, vica versus from my desktop to the laptop).

I must be brain dead...it worked fine, but there must be some type of
configuration I messed up and now must reconfigure.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,
