My friend told me tonight he's having a strange computer problem.
He has a wireless system and up until a few days ago, he could transmit from his laptop to his desktop with no troubles at all.....but for some strange reaason, now he can't.
But he can transmit just fine from his desktop to his laptop.
For instance, he wants to copy and paste from a folder on his laptop to a folder on his desktop.....but it won't work in this direction.....but it will work from his desktop to his laptop.
What could be causing this?

Folks, did I mention anything about wanting to buy a laptop? No thanks. I wouldn't own one.

save the folder to a disk or flash drive. then put the disk in the drive on desktop or put the disk in the drive on the desktop then copy it onto the hard drive.
★★ LEARN COMPUTER BASICS ★★
◙ You should have read a great book called "Windows XP For Dummies" (no I'm not calling you a dummy) like I did when I first started. Except back then it was called "Windows 95 For Dummies". Trust me it's a great book and has lots of humor in it as well. There are two of them. You should get both of them. Each one has information the other doesn't have. You'll learn cut, copy, paste, delete, making files, drag and drop and many many more helpful tricks.
◙ Look for this book at your local public library. If they don't have it have them use their username and password to login to firstsearch.org where they can get any book from any library in the world. Only libraries can get an account at Firstsearch.org. So you need to go to the library to search it. When you find what you want have the librarian order it for you. Read it and then return it to them. :)
◙ Here are two more great books. One is Windows XP Headaches. It teaches you how to fix many common and uncommon computer problems you'll run into with Windows XP. The other is PCs The Missing Manual. There are hundreds of tutorials in this book from hooking up a router to sharing and IPod between two computers and the list goes on and on. Ipoders will find some helpful information here too.
◙ Smart Computing Magazine -- This is the number one magazine for Windows tips. They'll show you how to clean your registry, spyware, adware, and a zillion other tricks. There are quite literally hundreds of tips per issue. They even have an online database of tips, forums and chats. Their online version of the magazine is a lot cheaper.

◙ Microsoft Product Discussion Groups -- You'll need to signup for an MSN Passport Account to use these groups. But it's really worth your time. You'll receive better help here than anywhere else. If you want help with a product you didn't pay for don't tell them that you didn't pay for it. :)

Make sure that sharing is enabled on both computers... Also you should be able to see both computers in My Network places. See if you can copy to the drives called Shared in My Network places..... If you CAN, then probably sharing is turned off for the C drive or other places you want to store in.

it depends on which folders are shared on each machine ...
