I have a wifi network which comprised a Plusnet router (TG582n), a
desktop computer (Nova), a netbook (Nettie), a wifi all in one
printer, a Sonyericsson Z3 smartphone and a Sky+ HD set top box. All
have communicated well for several years until today. I have just
installed a new Plusnet router (2704n) and I think I did something
wrong when configuring Nova and Nettie to the new router. During the
process I was faced with a window on which I was asked whether the
network was Private or Public with a couple of tick boxes (one for
each answer). I inadvertently clicked different ones on each
computer. Public on Nettie and Private on Nova. Now when I try to
connect from one computer to the other I get an error window with the message. 'Nettie/Nova is not accessible. You might not have
permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator
of this server to find if you have access permission.'
I am the administrator for pity sake!!! :(
It's ages since I originally set the network up and my mind has gone completely blank on how I can give myself permission for access on the
damn things. Both computers are still using Windows XP Home Edition
service pack 3 and connection between router and smartphone are OK.
I know it's a computer problem as when I re-installed the old router
earlier in the day the permissions were working OK, but not any more.
So it's when I was configuring Nova this afternoon after installing
the new router and was configuring, or rather mis-configuring Nova
that I made the fateful error. Can anyone out there help this
decrepit old fuddy duddy? Please, pretty please.
