Hi,
I have a network of 2 PC at home (one connected via cable to the router and a laptop is connected via wireless to the router) connected to a Linksys WRT54G Router.

The problem is to transfer files between computers;
When I try to transfer a file the system tells me that the network path is not accessible available but if I connect the laptop via wire instead of a wireless connection everything works perfectly without doing any settings.

Please note the follwoing;
The internet works good
I have no firewall active

Can anyone help please?

Do not have wireless myself but is there firewall settings that you can check about the wirless

To help others help also, what OS's are on your network

The NETBIOS over TCP/IP protocol probably isn't enabled for the wireless network.

In addition to the post by KISS, also turn off wireless security and then try networking via wireless.

If this is the problem, change your wireless security to a different type. Use WPA instead of WEP.

I have XP on desktop and Vists Home premium on laptop

Refer to How to configure file sharing in Windows XP (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040) and Windows Vista File and Print Sharing (http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/e2e03106-2546-4085-bd07-6c3ac95003111033.mspx).

Set your laptop running Vista to basic network sharing.

Since it worked

Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any software or hardware that you installed or setup
