Totally Lost on how to do this

[tuNaB2nroB]

I just bought a new Router, it's the Netgear RP614,
I thought i'd run the Network Wizards on my computer and i'll be all set, however this did not work.
I have played with settings and finally gotten all the computers visible in the same workgroup, the problem that exist now is that i get this error when i try to access the other computers on the network...

"\\HP 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. "

can someone help?

Do you get the same error if you try to access the other system with "\\" followed by its IP?

 

[hjo3]

Also, what OS(s) are you using and what's the default protocol on each machine?

If it's a Wink2k Win98 thing I wouldn't be suprised. The security issues between the two are hard to resolve. I've had problems sharing printers, files, you name it between Win2k/Xp and all the others. If not, we'll go from there.

Any wizards concerning Network (or "Miracle" utilties) might work once when you first configure the Network. Any further use of the Wizard can trash the Network since it changes back settings that was build in time by applications and hardware installation. The time it is supposable saved by using the wizard, get used many times over when trying to correct the mess later on.

In other word learning how to configure manually takes more time at the beginning, but saves much more time down the line.

Once you reconfigure every thing go over the sharing.

Important For the purpose of the initial setting, disable all software Firewall (including WinXP native
ICF); disable any active Virus scan or any other utility that might intercept Network Traffic.

The following Collection of Links might help:

If you are not concern about internal security WinXP has a fast simple method of sharing, no user permissions and no passwords.

Link: Windows XP Simple File Sharing

WinXP Pro has an additional more secure method:

Link: Windows XP Professional File Sharing.

Link: XP File Sharing Trouble

Win98 Sharing:

I had a similiar problem. Changed the router and the problem did not go away. It turned out that Microsoft explorer would not work with the router. I downloaded Opera and it worked fine. Hope this helps.

The Netgear Should work with I.E.

One small leap and you are there. Win98ME settings are like Win98. So the links above should help.
