ive tried pinging the desktop and it times out with the firewall turned off
ive gone to set up home network and i go thru it all and still nothing
ive looked through the tutorial and cant find anything.. can anyone help?

are you connected wirelessly or via cable ?
if wirelessly, are you sure you're connected to your own network? -
connected thru cable.. i disabled the wireless not to deal with the other persons network

Are both machines in the same workgroup?
-
yes they are.. i cant access the workgroup from the notebook

ok i tried pinging again, and i got it to work from my notebook to the main desktop that has the router.. does that help at all?
