Hi, I recently set up a home network with a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. The Office desktop and the notebook pC both have windows XP professional. Our office desktop computer is attached to the router, and 1 notebook PC and another desktop (Dining Room) are also attached to the network. I am able to use shared files from the Office computer with my notebook PC only if the Office computer is on. When the Office computer is off I get the message "...document is not accessible...you may not have permission to use this network resource...contact administrator...Network path not found". The firewalls on both office desktop and notebook pc are off. Please help!!!
Thanks,
Jean

Yes, any computer that you want to access has to be turned on in order to access it. Was that your question?
