ya so I had a shared folder between my moms laptop and my computer through a router.  The internet connection still works but the shared folder says they aren't connected.  Can someone help me please?

Check your moms laptop for a good internet connection and restart both.

1) Make sure they're both connected to the internet through the router
2) Are they both running Windows XP or newer?  It's a lot easier if so.
3) Doesn't matter though, go to the control panel on both laptops, go through the network setup wizard and make sure you set the WORKGROUP the same on both computers
4) Try again -- it should hopefully work !
