    Hi

    I have a laptop that I use for work, is connected to a domain, at home I have a PC win 2k this only connect to a Workgroup (1 PC only).

    I have setup a small Wireless network betwen the PC and laptop that share a Cable internet connection via a router with no problems.

    If in the PC I go to Start - Run and type the laptop name \\nava I get asked for an Id and pasword, this works and I can logon and can see the share files on the laptop

    The problem is with the laptop I logon with my own ID that has Administor access to I do not have the Administrator password, if I type the pc's name \\nava2 after a few seconds I get an error mesage.
    If I go to search for the PC and can see it but cannot open it, get error mesag, If I go to My network places in the laptop and Microsoft Windows Network I can again see the PC Nava2 but cannot open it.

    Any sugestions on how can I setup the laptop to connect to the PC so I can use the printer and see folders in the PC that I'm sharing, in work other user can see my Laptop and can see my shared files

    Thanks
    Nava
