OK so I have my cable internet coming into my modem, then router, then two computers connected to the internet (wired) from the router.
Can I connect these two computers together in a network so I can share files back and forth with this configuration? If so how? if not, how can I set it up for this to work?
So far I have tried this with the setup:
I tried the network setup wizard and they are part of the same workgroup, From this computer (my main one) I can go into "my network places" and it shows my shared folder. When I click on "view workgroup computers", it shows the two computers on my network with the proper names and all. When I try to select one, I get the following error:
The other computer, shows and says the exact same thingXxx (computer name) is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The network path was not found.
I hope this makes sense. BTW I have successfully set up the internet on both machines so I know that aspect is working, and they obviously recognize eachother as they show up in the folder with the proper names. I just can't get them to connect together.
Any help would be appreciated
