When i try to see the workgroup computers at home which are using same wireless network with same workgroup name, windows was complaining that i don't have enough adminstrator rights. How to make myself the adminstrator for our home network?\nThe same procedure of file sharing that worked for me at the school is not working at home.

Are you using windows xp home or windows xp pro?  Windows xp home is pretty limited.  You can access another computer with its UNC path.  For example:\n&#92;&#92;brian&#92;c$\nif the computer name is brian and the computer is running windows xp pro (or windows 2000 pro).\n\nFor home, just type &#92;&#92;brian and then click on shared files/folders.  You will have to enable sharing by right clicking on the hard drive with home.  Specify a share name.

You need to go to Computer 1 and go to control panel and then systems. Go to your Computer Name tab and make sure it has the same workgroup name as Computer 2.\n\nThen right click on a folder and allow "share". You should be able to go to My Network places and see the drives and shared folders.

if you have complete control over your computer, then dont share any folders, you can see which folders are being shared by going to local networ-> your computer ...this will list all folders that anyone can see\n\ngo to the folders by going to my computer-> whatever folder, click on the folder and go to sharing and security, un-share the folder.\n\nby not sharing any folders, you wont get anything from the other computer, this also stops people from seeing your stuff on wireless networks- if you need to share a folder, do so temporarily, and then un-share it...gl

Is this a work or school PC?  Sounds like they are blocking it with a Group Policy Object (GPO) from the network.\n\nWhat are you trying to run?  Sometimes if you go into Help files on certain applications (like Windows XP), there is a backdoor to the command line.

Sounds like you're trying to do everything right.  Firewalls are the #1 issue, but those are disabled.\nFirst, I would check the IP addresses for all computers to make sure they're on the same subnet.  If your wireless computers are getting a different IP range than your wired, you'll have problems networking them peer-to-peer.\nSecond, I would try again from scratch.  Pick a different workgroup name and join all four computers to the new workgroup.

I am sure you meant 'workgroup' rather than 'domain name'\n(a domain is not required to network any 2 pc's.)\n\nRun the Network 'set-up' wizard on both Pc's, pick the same workgroup name.\n\nPS: you will need to re-boot TWICE...not once.

The first and the foremost thing is to bring the PC's together on the same network. \n\nThen, you need to enable file and printer sharing on the PC's. \n\nThen you have to enable sharing of the specific folders.

Are they all in the same workgroup?  Check out  http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/addxp.htm\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/learnmore/russel_02april08.mspx\nBasic Checklist for Networking\n1. Ensure that all firewalls are disabled for all computers involved.\n2. Ensure that all computers on the network are in the same workgroup.\n3. Ensure each computer has "file and printer sharing" installed.\n4. Ensure that you have 'File Sharing' enabled - to do this, right-click on any Drive/Folder/File on one (or all) of the other computers, and select 'Sharing and Security...'. Ensure that 'Share this folder on the Network' is enabled.

Just wipe out the network connection and set the network connection all over again. It should erase everything associated with your workgroup and let you recreate it.

Right click the folder and go back into properties and uncheck the "share this folder" box. It is really that easy and simple. As the owner of the file you can choose how and when you wish to share. You can share for long enough to just allow somebody a quick peek or for weeks, months and years. Until somebody higher up in the company decides to take ownership of this file from you, you can continue to share as you please. It is possible though for your administrator to take over ownership of any file and folder on the network. It is not difficult to do. You would know right away when that occurred and most admins really will tell you what they are going to do before they do it, but it is still something he/she can do. \n\nGood luck and have a great day!

Well you need to bring your boss, and let him see when he does it. On the other hand, every action that is taken by the Network Administrator or Local users are recorded in Event Viewer in the Computer Manager(Right click My Computer and select Manage). Keep a copy of the Event manager, as the administrator may delete that too, and review them right after you see something wrong or unexpected in your workstation.\n\nIf your network administrator as restricted to you to open the Computer Manager or the the event viewer, the I guess you need to lodge a formal complain to your boss, because there is no other way. Even if there is, you dont want to use them, because your network adminitrator may charge against you as they ARE illegal to use in the controlled network with out permission.

easy!\nset up a home network with the (Network Setup Wizard), on one computer. The fastest, is to tell the wizard (in the end) to end the setup without making any floppy disks or stuff like that, just remember the network name you put it. Then do the network setup wiz on the other comp giving the same network name, restart. BTW, it does not matter if your desktop is connected wirelessly or by network cable, as long as you SHARE your files (right click on any folder and select Network sharing and Security then click the Share this folder on the network)\nyou can share the printer and even media drives, good luck!\n\nDO Not disable the firewals and security software! That's like not fastening the seatbelt in a F1 car.\nIdeally it will work out automatically, but if computers refuse to connect or find each other on the network - then you have to get either a computer nerd or technician for 5 mins to fix the settings of the firewall.

Make sure the SSID names are the same on both computers... like WORKGROUP is what it usually defaults too. I have had problems before and loading the IPX protocol has taken care of those. Hope this helps If you are using wireless, make the SSID the same name as your Router.
