Network Help - Xzotic - 01-04-2011
I'm helping my Friends Dad setup a network for his business. He is using 3 computers. Everything is going great since its not that hard to do . But the thing is, he is using a laptop as a type of server to share files from a program that he uses from work to TWO desktops.
The problem i've run into is that the Laptop, which runs on Wireless internet can See both the desktops on the network. But the Desktops cannot see the Laptop on the network, which is a big problem.
I have no idea why its like this. I have all the sharing settings on. Same workgroup and everything, to me it makes no sense why the laptop can see but the desktops cannot.
The OS is Win 7 Pro btw
Would really appreciate some help.

Is the laptop configured to be discovered in the network by other computers? By default it may be set off.
