I just installed a router and wireless network. PC A can ping PC B. However, can not see PC B from A even though have shared folders and printers. On PC A, if try to map a share back to PC A specifying IP address instead of computer name, it fails withs with network path can not be found. If use PC A's name, then mapping works. However, can not map from A to B no matter what I try.
