HelloI have 2 computers.The #1 computeris aDell XPS 400 Desktop running Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 wired directly to a Linksys WRT54G Wireless router with a Internet Connection.The #2 Computer ina Dell Studio 1737 Laptop Running Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1, connectiing wirelessly to both the Internet and the desktop through the Wireless Router.I have no problems getting out to the internet or seeing files and folders that I have shared from desktop so that I can pull them up and edit them from the laptop.The problemI am having right now is that when I try to open, edit then save a file back to the desktop I get a error message. Below are the steps I have tried using a TEST SAVE.txt file that I created on the Desktop for the purposes of trying to figure the problem out.1. Open the shortcut from my Laptop to the folder that contains TEST SAVE.txt. on my desktop2.Double ClickTEST SAVE.txt3. Make a simple change in the document.4. ChooseSave from the File drop down menu.Using this method I get this error message."Cannot create the \\computer name\directory name\TEST SAVE.txt fileMake sure that the path and filename are correct"I also tried it by repeating steps 1-3 from above but choosing SAVE AS from the File drop down menu. When I do this it tells me that the File already exists and do I wish to replace it. When I choose yes I get another error message saying the same as above. I checked to make sure that the files and folders on the Desktop computer were set correctly under attributes.No Check Mark next to READ ONLY.No Check Mark next to Hidden.Still no luck. Prolly something simple that I have overlooked but any help on this would keep a few more gray hairs from showing themselves.Thank you1 person got this answerI do too

Hi Vlad70, Thanks for posting. Instead of using a shortcut to the file. Can you browse to the share, open it from there and see if you can save it?
