Home network question....

[silicon]

I have a simple home network, 2 desktops connected to a router by a wire and a wireless laptop. recently I built a new computer and transferred components to the second and reinstalled windows. I gave the computer a name and when i look on the network connection in windows explorer i see the second computer but cannot connect to it. What can i do about this?

You may want to take a look at the network and sharing center and make sure the sharing settings you want are enabled for the current profile.

There may be a password on the first PC that you will need to use on the new one in order to connect to it.

Ok thanks this is probably the reason why.

This actually a topic for the Networking forum.

I will leave it here as a Public service to those who never heard of Network Sharing.
