I just hooked up a wireless router to my desktop so I can run my
laptop from the same internet connection. However, when I set up the
home network to link the two PCs together, the files on my desktop are
not accessible from the laptop. I get an error message saying the
path is incorrect or I may not have authorization. Then I am told to
check with the administrator.

Any ideas on how to make this work so I can access files from my
laptop through the network?
