Thanks in advance

My client has a PC and Notebook (bothWinXp SP2) conneted AD-Hoc via 2xUSB
WG111T WiFi adapters.

The adapters are installed and functional. The PC can ping itself and the
Notebook but in View Workgroup only the PC itself shows up. The Notebook
cannot ping the PC and in View Workgroup only the Notebook itself shows
up. Both computers have the same user a/c and pwd.

Sometimes both PC and Notebook both show up on the Notebooks View
Workgroup but when I try to access shared files I receive the following
error:
"... is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network
resource. Contact the network administrator ... the network path was not
found"

I have performed the following checklist


Is the Wireless network installed and running? YES all green lights

Is the signal strength good on both machines? YES

Do both m/c have same user name & pwd? YES

Are both machines using the same subnet? Ie. 169.254.xxx.xxx YES

Set workgroup as "WORKGROUP" YES

For Pier to Pier wireless must be set to Ad-Hoc YES both

Firewall on both machines setup for trusted IP's YES

Both machines see themselves in View Workgroup Computers YES

PC with firewall off can ping itself and the Notebook YES

Notebook with firewall off cannot ping itself and the PC

Both machines are set to NETBIOS over TCP/IP

Under user rights assignment add "everyone" to "access this computer from
the network" YES
