Hi all.

I have two home computers wireless networked. When I first set it up, it worked great, we were sharing files between the two in harmony.

For a while, something has gone wrong. I can access any shared files or documents on the other computer, but it can't access shared files or docs on mine.

(if this helps), tonight I mapped a network drive to my "My Music" folder. In the browsing section, my computer sees shared folders on the other, but the other does not see any on mine, though it does recognise that my computer is on the network, that's it.

the computer said it might not have access to mine. Any help to break through this?

Thanks very much.

Oh by the way, I do use McAfee Personal Firewall, if this is the reason why the other computer can't see mine, any help on how to tell the firewall to allow network access would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again.

I feel so stupid. There's no need to diagnose the problem, it was my firewall and I figured out how to allow the IP address.

I'm really sorry if this wasted your time, and thanks for looking.
