wireless networking - desktop and laptop

[richard]

Went through the procedure to setup an ad-hoc network.
But the laptop is not seeing the new network.
Although it will see my verizon mifi card.

Both machines are windows 7 home premium.
the laptop is 32 bit and the desktop is 64 bit.

what am I missing?

Ok I got the network to finally work.
However, the folder I want to access returns an error message of "folder
cannot be accessed" or denied or however you want to say it.
I tried turning the sharing on but that got rejected too.

now what?

You're probably very close to getting it working.

"If both share permissions and file system permissions are
set for a shared folder, the more restrictive permissions
apply when connecting to the shared folder."

"Reply to customer feedback: The command prompt procedure
is for NTFS permissions only"

The second blurb, is because NTFS supports permissions, while
as near as I can tell, FAT32 does not.

HTH,

Sorry but that info is not only out of date and for a server.

Got it to work.
Found out the "user" folder was already set up to share so I just copied
and pasted the files into it and transferred the files.
Done in a heartbeat.

You have to set the permissions of non-public folders to enable sharing.

Right click on folder name --> Properties > Sharing --> Open Share -->
List names of users --> Advanced sharing > Advanced Sharing --> Add,
Permissions.
