Yeah,
I've just transferred a heap of music (with .wma file type) using a USB flash drive and now I'm told that Windows media player cannot play them because I'm missing the licences that go with the files.
Arrrggghh!!.
Where does this all end??.
I also tried to move over a copy of ArcSoft PhotoBase 3 (which is what I use to edit and re-size all the pics that I recieve for ECN postings, it won't work because the computer tells me I cannot open an executable file from a removable drive, even though it is stored in my HDD.
Regarding my attempt at networking these 2 computers together, I think I may have mucked something up, because I can no longer ping between either of them and sending a ping between them gives me 4 "Request timed out" messages.
The laptop is using an IP address of 192.168.0.55.
The desktop is using an IP address of 192.168.0.54.
TCP/IP is enabled on both computers.
File sharing is enabled in both computers.
As far as I can see, this "should" by rights work.
I would like to get this network working, for the sake of my sanity.
I've fiddled around with both computers and can't really see any one thing that could be causing this problem, well, nothing that stands out as an obvious error.
However, I'm all out of answers.
I've never had any problems with networking my laptop to my other Linux computer (Not the desktop I was referring to above).
Personally, as I was saying in my original post, Windows Network Set-Up Wizard is a waste of time and HDD space, it is a dead-end program.
To a degree, so is most of the so-called Trouble-shooting programs in XP.
