Wireless Network File Sharing Problem

canusavac · 03-14-2009, 09:10 AM

I have a desktop connected to 2 laptops thru a router (that was just upgraded from a D-Link WBR1310 to 2310). I am trying to access my files from one pc to another (wirelessly) and am getting:

The network Path was not found

Background:
I set up a new wireless network (with a new name) on my router and desktop - looks ok.

On my 2 laptops, I tried to use "set up a wireless network for a home or small office" to "add new computers or devices to my new network". But I am unable to do this, because my old network name is displayed here (there is no option to select the new name).

How do I get rid of my old network from my laptops, so I can add my new one. The wireless connections both look ok (and are connecting to the new network) and I can access the internet; just the file sharing is not working.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

Problem solved. It was my firewall settings. Everything works now.
