More varients....
My Network places (on all computers) show file folders, like this;
That is Network places on main PC - can see everything...
On the media PC and laptop, the main PC does NOT show up in this view...
But on media PC and laptop, the main PC DOES show up in this view, which is VIEW WORKGROUP COMPUTERS;
In that view, all computers can see all computers. From the main PC, I can double click on any of those network computers and access them. But from both the media PC and the laptop I can't access the main PC - thats when I get the error message;
\\Laptop is not accessible. you may not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission.
The network path was not found.
WTF? This is beginning to really piss me off! I need to be able to access my main PC from the laptop in order to put the programme exe files onto the laptop so I can execute them, as from a CD when I try and copy some of them to the dektop (mainly the IE7 and WMP11 exe's, but sometimes it's other ones like VLC or Zoomplayer aswell) I get the cyclic redundancy error message and the exe file won't copy
