TROUBLE in HOME NETWORKING HEAVEN!!! Help Please...

Hi,

I am attempting to reconnect my wife's HP P4 with my Dell 8100 P4. They were connected prior to our move. Now the darn Home Networking Wizard is not working so friendly. I keep receiving the response the the "Network Path Can Not Be Found" and that I may not have permission to view the selected folders, files, etc.. I have verified the names of the PC's they are correct. I can even see shared folders on my pc but I can NOT open them. I have not had this problem before. We have a highspeed cable connection and a D-Ling "DI 604" resedential Gateway router. It has all been rather easy in the past so I am vexed as to why it is difficult now.

I was hoping to back-up my files & folders on my Wife's PC so I could setup my Imac and then transer the music, pics, and some Word documents back over but things are not working so smoothly right now.

Any advice or direction is grately appreciated from you fine folks. I was hoping not to have to buy some software to do this - if at all possible as the IMAC set me back enough... if you can dig?

Thank you again and in advance - Major Geeks has been my BEST resource for direction and advice.

Try a winsock fix. At a command prompt, type: netsh winsock reset Press Enter. Wait for it to finish and reboot.
