Hi guys, hope you can help with this, it's been bugging me for ages and I can't seem to fix it with the help that's already out there.
I've got a desktop with a cable connection to my router and a laptop with a wireless connection to the router. Both can access the internet, and the laptop can access the desktop occasionally (although it's pretty temperamental). My trouble is getting the desktop to connect to the laptop. Not only can I not connect to the laptop, I can't even access the workgroup for some reason - I keep getting a message saying that I may not have the required permissions.
I use Zonealarm (free version) on the desktop and Windows FW on the laptop and have managed to add the IP range in ZA to allow the laptop to access the desktop but I can't figure out how to get the desktop to connect to the laptop.
The laptop can ping the desktop but not viceversa.
Any help would be much appreciated.
