Small Home Network Setup Problems

[ToxicPanda]

I am currently trying to set up a small home network between 2 computers but I am running into some difficulties.

Both computers run windows XP and the network setup wizard has been run on both of them. The network is called HOME, it’s connected through Bluetooth, a network bridge is set up so that one computer can connect to the internet through the other, and the internet connection is set up so that it can be shared between other computers on the network.

The problem is that whenever I try to access the network I get this error:

“Home is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission.

The list of servers on the workgroup is not currently available.”

I am the administrator on both computers and I can’t find any options that relate to network access.

Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can sort out access rights or point out if I have missed anything while setting up the network. Or alternatively, suggest a different/easier method of sharing an internet connection of 1 computer between others.

Thanks

can you ping between the two computers?

what are their IPs and Subnets?

Run "Run" then "cmd" then "ipconfig /all"

I cant seem to ping the other computer but I can ping the network bridge that is suppose to allow me to connect to the internet through the other computer.

IP - 192.168.0.1
Subnet - 255.255.255.0

Does this help?
