Haha I actually figured it out :) I had my Network adapter set to automatically give me an IP Address. The switch that the guy installed with the U-Verse was giving me that IP automatically so I changed the setting to use a specific IP with the proper gateway and Subnet Mask for my network. Not...

I definitely thought it was odd that the Desktop had such a weird IP Address. Well as I said the Desktop is connected through a wired Ethernet connection in the wall. I guess then that setup is Computer/Switch/Router/Internet. The Laptop is connected wirelessly so that setup would be...

The Desktop computer's IP is something like 99.146.nnn.nnn and the Laptop's IP is something like 192.168.nnn.nnn. That's all I know about them lol. Also, you should know that now for some reason my Laptop isn't even appearing in the Desktop's network space just like the other two computers on...

I guess the firewall on the Laptop got turned back on somehow. Any and all Anti-virus, etc. protection is removed from both machines. Also, somehow miraculously I can now access the Desktop from the Laptop. That I cannot explain but we're getting somewhere.

I got it to ping again. I can now ping both ways by IP. I can only ping by name the Desktop from the Laptop.

And If I'm on my Laptop and try to access the Desktop I get this message in troubleshooting: Link Removed due to 404 Error Also, I can ping the Desktop from the Laptop by name, but not the other way around. When I ping from the Desktop it tells me the ping request could not find that host. I...

Alright I tried the \\ipAddress and got the same message as I've been getting: Link Removed due to 404 Error So I click diagnose. If I'm on my Desktop and try to access the Laptop I get this message: Link Removed due to 404 Error

Well its exactly as I said in the original post. When I go into the network and try to click on either the Laptop from the Desktop or the Desktop from the Laptop I get that message "Windows cannot access \\(computer name)". The same thing occurs when I type \\(ipAddress)\(ShareName). I don't...

Okay, I just realized I reversed the ping problem. It's actually that I cannot ping Laptop from Desktop, so I simply reversed your instructions and disabled the firewall on the laptop instead of the desktop and now they can ping each other no problem. Sorry for the wrong information, but at...

Did everything you said; still doesn't work. :confused: My original post might have been confusing in my wording. My overall problem is that all the other computers on the network can interact with each other except for the Desktop. It is probably also worth mentioning that I installed a...

I am running Windows 7 Professional on a desktop computer and Windows 7 Home Premium on a laptop. They both can successfully connect to the internet without a problem. The laptop connects through wireless and the desktop connects through a wired connection. These two computers, however, cannot...
