Re: network file access lost

Further:

the command net view on the laptop shows both the laptop and desktop as being on the network with the correct names. On the desktop, net view shows only the desktop as being part of the network. Both machines have internet access through the same router/modem.

On the laptop, I can ping by computername to the laptop but cannot ping by name to the desktop. On the desktop, I can ping by name to the desktop, but not the laptop. From either PC, I can ping to both computers by IP.
