I have spent hours and hours running "set up a home or small off network" and "set up a wireless network for a small office" to have fruitless results. I have previously configured it on another laptop using Win 2000 and now I have XP pro on both desktop and Laptop, I thought this would be easy. Useing Netgear router, Netgear PCMCIA wireless card in Laptop and D-Link wireless card in Desktop. I get both machines to see the the workgroup in MS Windows Network under Network places but I always get a "workgroup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact admin of server. The list of servers for this wkgroup is not available"... Im the admin and I dont know what I am missing. File sharing is on... Please help............... Can someone please tell me how to fix wininit.dll. I have tried Norton, and several reg cleaners, none of them touch this "Oleadm" My desktop says "A fatal error in IE has occured at 0028:C0011E36

Maybe some info in this: How to set up your computer for wireless networking in Windows XP Watch for help from others.

Do you have a login password on each of your machines ? If not try creating a dummy password then deleting it. In Control Panel - User accounts click your user name then Create password. Enter any password then go back and change it to be blank.

Sounds like there may be a firewall in place. If there is, try turning it off and see if it will not then reach. (If you do run a firewall, which one?) ZA will absolutely keep you from making the connection unless you set up a subnet mask permission in each. Can you successfully ping each computer from the other. Run ipconfig /all and copy and paste the results here. I'm assuming that you have shared a drive or folder on each computer. When Windoze is being difficult, I have also found it helpful to try to have as much stuff as poss with the same name and password.

Make sure you allowed sharing on each computer and also the ability to change files. if that isn't it, look to allow network in firewall if you have one. ZA and Sygate very easy to set up for network permissions.

Thanks for the help guys.... Have previously been to the link suggested, no help on wireless home networking (have been all over the web reading to no avail) I have verbaitem gone through instuctions on how this should be done to no sucess.... Will try the password suggestion. Have no passwords currently set. No firwalls, dissabled Windows and Norton Internet Security, will have a go at pinging... no joy there. They seem not to find eachother (theres a shock) my desktop gives me the standard 192.168.0.3 and the laptop is getting an autoconfigured (169.254.145.122), should I be medding with the IP and DNS settings to select my own??? Sharing has been allowed and file changes allowed also... Again thenks for the help. Cheers Can someone please tell me how to fix wininit.dll.
