Hi!
I want to create home network for file sharing.
I use laptop with Vista, Kaspersy, wireless connect and desktop with XP home, McAfee, cable connect. Wireless ADSL2/2+ Router (A-Link).
Now, So far I have got to a stage where I can see both computers on both machines, however from the vista laptop I can not access desktop at all and from desktop I can only access public folder but not any other folders that I share.
Could someone please bother to write a step by step from here what he would do if he would be in that sort of situation because I read many articles on the internet suggesting what could resolve the issue but I dont wanna touch anything before being sure the problem is there.
And how can I improve the speed for file sharing? I was able to transfer a 200md document from public folder in 4 mins. Is that the speed limit or could it be faster with my router?
P.S. I have not typed in any of the ip, gataway, dns info manualy.
Please help to sort it out finally as I have this network battle for years now!

WackyT did you even read the post? Its says that I have ticked the box for file sharing on the folder that I want to share, so i dont need the instructions how to do that. I think my problem is involves more attention than just that.
However, please help to resolve the issue. -

It is just amazing how many people have such a hard time with a simple task like folder sharing. MOHCTP, READ through the links and you should have no problem. I'm done with hand holding on this issue.
-
On another note, since this is a file sharing thread, please keep the discussion legitimate and only on legal advise. -
Legal advise? What in any of the links in the message I linked to is illegal? Please advise. I'm sure Microsoft would like to know if anything on their site is illegal.
Also, there is a Search function available to forum members to look for continuously repeated requests like this. -
Oh great now u gonna exchange compliments to each other? its my threat and the topic is different!
However I was able to find out that McAfee antivirus soft was blocking reading desktop network, so I typed in the ips in the both machines antiviruses. However I am still not able to access folder I share on my laptop from desktop even though I set highest permission level!
And how fast can file transfer be? Im getting around 1 mb/sec but is that a limit and what actually influences it? -
On my 802.11g network, I get about 20mb/sec maximum. Turn off all non-802.11g extensions (super-duper express maximum speed stuff).
-
I get 2mb/sec but sure 20 sounds much better! How do i turn other extensions off?
And my new wireless adsl internet connection speed seems lower than it was with the older cable adsl. I use 1mb/sec connection, 2 computers, internet surfing is slower and p2p progrems barely every go up to 100kb/sec though they are 100% supposed to. Is there a way to test if Im getting maximum 1mb/sec connection out of my adsl? -
In addition to the previous post I have encountered more problems.
Now, at my second place of residence I have 3 computers (including my laptop that works fine on the other network) connected to a switch (I think) its a D-link's small thing with 5 ethernet ports, and an uplink switch for a 5th port to which actually my cable modem is connected. No model number is provided on the thing so I cant say its a switch for 100%, atleast I think so, there is only smth like a serial number that has no help to be identified over the internet. So the problem is that I can not see computers on the network. I ran the wizard on them, made sure its the same group name. Could it be switch blocking? and what is this uplink feature for, I tried to switch it on off, seems to have no different on my internet connection atleast.
Firewall? -
UPDATE:
The slow internet speed is caused by the bitcomet (p2p) and primary adsl router cause when I use bitcomet at my other place with other modem it goes on maximum and no problems what so ever. However, when I use it with wireless adsl it barely reached half of the speed and internet surfing becomes impossible. In addition, when I switch off bitcomet internet goes back to normal and normal downloads reach their full rate.
Does this have something to do with port forwarding or routers firewall? -

It has to do with how may simutanious connection it can handle at one time. This is where the new Linksys routers have a problem, when they cut the ram in 1/2 and moved away from Linux code. The reason dd-wrt is popular.

Hmm its good to know but is there a solution for that? or should I just change my router into another one. Which one is the best at the moment?
File sharing, need help!
