Network connection - Inspiron to Desktop PC
Hi All,
Have spent hours on this and am burnt out. Need to network my Inspiron to my Desktop PC (also DEll). Gone through Network Wizards, pinging etc and finally arrive at the following error message on both machines:
"Fireflyhome is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."
As I don't have a server on either machine this is a mystery to me. Look forward to anyone being able to shine a bit of light on this!

These problems are often caused by not configuring your firewall software to allow a connection with the other computer. In both McAfee and Norton there is an ISP configuration screen. Go to that screen and make sure the ISP range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.200 is allowed to connect. That may solve the problem.

Thanks for the commnet.
I have enabled the Firewall between my desktop computer and the internet. I have not enabled a firewall between the desktop and the Laptop. Should I?

OK, I'll order a router and see what other hoops I have to jump through. So I'll sign off until I've got that organised.
Thanks again
