        <description><![CDATA[i noticed in your previous post u mentioned setting a range from 0-255.0 and 255 are not available for use so it likely macafee didn't recognize that as a vaild range.however it would recognize 1-254.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[McAfee was the issue!  I had the range of IP addresses being used on the network set to trusted on LAN 1 but when I connected to the wireless with same computer on LAN 2 McAfee listed the same range again (it appeared to be a duplicate of the first entry) but set it to Public automatically.  I changed this to trusted and hey presto it worked.It always seems so simple after the issue has been solved.Many thanks for all your help guys!!!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The version of McAfee I have does not have the option on the manage network screen to set each computer as trusted (Is this a feature of McAfee EasyNetwork, I am not using this feature).   However, when I select 'Configure - Internet &amp; Network - Advanced - Networks' I can set a range of IP addresses as 'Trusted', 'Public' or 'Standard'.I have 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255 set to 'trusted' as the router assigns computers on the network an IP address between these (usually only 1-5 in the fourth octet).  I would assume this should be sufficient.I will have access to the LAN again tomorrow and will recheck the McAfee settings then along with pinging the other computers on the network and checking the network protocol lists.I will repost with an update then.Thanks.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Although you mentioned that you set your network in McAfee as a trusted site, you must also individually set each computer as trusted. In the manage network section you will find the illustrated map of your network where you must click on each computer to set it as trusted. The program will display two playing cards that you must verify on the opposite computer to validate the sharing between computers on the network. This must be done for every computer on your network.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Thanks for all your tips.  But it is still not working.McAfee is set to trust all IP addresses between 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255.  How do I compare the network protocol lists? I have shared a folder in 'My Documents' (Sharing and Security - Share this folder on the network) but it was still not available on the other laptop (in 'My Network Places').This is the second Home network I am trying to set up.  The first one I set up worked perfectly. As far as I am aware I followed the same procedure.  The only difference is the router (Linksys worked, Netgear did not).Laptop 1 will be used on both networks.  Laptop 1 currently works perfectly on the first LAN (All shared docs can be seen and accessed by other computers on the network. I can print 'wirelessly' over the network as well via a PC which is connected to the router through ethernet).  However when I try it on the second LAN the other computers cannot see these same shared docs.Is it possible that something needs to be configured on the wireless router?  ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[1)Make sure McAfee's excepions list includes the IPs of the two machines. 2) Compare the network protocol list for each machine's network connection, and make sure they match exactly. That's a really common source of the exact problem you're describing, especially with XP Home. Good luck!]]></description>

Unless you choose 'simple' then you must have a userid that has a password on each PC for data to be shared.There is a 'simple file sharing mode' that does not need a password.Do you have a defined userid for each PC that has a password? http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/filesharing.htmCan each PC ping the other one via both IP and hostname?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hi,I am trying to set up a home network to share files in 'My Network Places'. I am using a Netgear router and two laptops (both running XP Home) connected via wireless to the router.I have run the network setup wizard on both laptops.  File/printer sharing is turned on and both laptops are on the same workgroup ('Computerroom').Laptop 1: In 'My Network Places-Entire Network-Microsoft windows network-computerroom' I can see laptop 2 but cannot access it.Laptop 2: In 'My Network Places-Entire Network-Microsoft windows network' I cannot access the computerroom folder at all.I am running McAfee on both laptops and the network has been flagged as trusted.Can anyone give me an insight into what I might have missed in order to access the shared folders on both laptops?Thanks!]]></description>
