Wirless connection Problem

[brown_dog]

Its been quite a while since I had this problem.

2 PCs that I want to have a peer-to-peer/ADHOC connection.

*My rig Athlon XP 1700+(dont let this fool you that my rig is old its @2.2ghz)
have a wirless card MSI PC54G2 PCI installed.

*HP DV4040 Laptop with wirless capability

So here it is, The wirless connection icon at the buttom right corner says it has a good/excellent signal quality, so the two PCs are now connected the problem
is that I just cant go in to each computers shared documents. The shared documents
can be found but I cant just go in. When I double click the shared documents There is an error says "can't connect make sure you are authorized to access this folder....." or something like that, then thats it, I can't share our documents.

Its very frustrating, I have to burn a re-writtable CD in order to share our documents and my wirless card is very useless.
I even turned off both firewalls.

And by the way i'm using windows XP SP2 on both laptop and my rig.
My MSI PC54G2 wirless card is working fine its brand new, so as the laptop.

Network gurus I need your advise. :mrgreen:

both pc's are in the same workgroup, i suppose. i've read that somewhere maybe it might help. i havn't really tried adhoc since i have a wireless router.

Yep, tried using the same name for a network group on both computers. Still cant share.
Maybe I should reinstall my windows nalang.

dili kinhanlan actually windows prevents you from sharing My Documents folder for security reason people might snoop around your stuff. But there is a way. Go to my documents folder then right click it select sharing and enable it....

Your wireless is working just fine.

Its your Windows XP that wont allow you to access the folders.

Try this...

right click the folder you want to share.
select sharing and security
select sharing tab
click permissions button
then enable full control

Enjoy your wireless peer-to-peer connection!!

Tried it all na still cant access to the shared folder.

Fortunately I formatted my HD and reinstalled my windows now my wirless ad_hoc is working fine na! thanks to all peeps.

Anyway my windows was never reinstalled or I've never reformat my HD since last November I think, daghan nakayo error ako windows which turns out to be true.

There is nothing wrong with your wireless connection/association, the fact that it shows an excellent connection.
The fact that you can see the folders means either your tpc/ip connection works or the windows netbios takes care of it when ip addressing for example is not properly configured (of course netbios protocol must be mounted)

The problem here is in the sharing settings of the folder.. to be sure to set proper permissions to the computer/user who will access this shared folder
