I have 2 PCs connected to a DSL wireless router, one hard wired to the router and the other (laptop) via a wireless adapter. Both machines running XP SP2.
I'm having no problems accessing the internet, POP3 and web, from either machine, however I cannot share files or the printer.
A few months ago I had everything running just fine until I loaded Windows Live OneCare. After a while I got the settings set properly and and was good to go.
I recently ran Windows update (coincidence?) on the laptop (other workstation was regularly updating) and now can't access either workstation files from the other, or the shared printer from the laptop. Message I get is: "Warning .... is not accessible. You might not have permission...... The network path was not found". I still have full internet access from both machines.
One thing I have noticed is that from each machine I can ping the gateway but not itself or the other.
Suggestions?
