Mixed Network woes
Hi, I have 2 pc's running xp home wired to the network, and 1 laptop wireless to the network (also xp home). I am using a linksys wireless broadband b/g router.
Pc #1 can't see pc #2, but #2 can see and access #1 #1 can see the laptop but can't access it, #2 cannot do either, laptop can see both #1 and #2 but can only access #1 all computers have internet access I need help with this big time, I want all computers to access all the others as well as keeping internet access on all. I'm sure it'll be easier to cancel all network settings and start fresh, but whatever I need to do to get this working is fine. Thanks! Anthony |

Have you given each machine a name?
Are they all on the same network name? Have you enabled File and Printer sharing on each machine?

they all have names, file and printer sharing is on. I may have mistakenly created a second network for the wireless part. I had the wired network in place before I added the wireless.

Something has missmatched somewhere obviously.
If I were you, using your XP cd I would use the add features wizard and use that to setup your network on each of your machines one at a time, this will overwrite your existing network settings. Just make sure you use the same network name on each machine and when prompted switch on file and printer sharing. Just put your XP cd in each machine one at a time and wait for the gui to pop up and from there select "Perform Additional Tasks>Set up a Home or Small Office network" |

You may also be having firewall issues. If you are using anything but the Windows firewall such as Norton, McAfee, etc., this is quite commonly the source of issues such as this.

GLC and rjfvillarosa,
Thank you so much for your help, everything works now! I used my windows cd to create a home network, and computer #2's firewall wasn't set properly. Now I have full sharing and internet. Thanks again! Anthony |
