>I was experiencing a similar problem. Config is WIN98SE
connected to a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I have 1
XP desktop that could share internet and files/printers
with the 98SE desktop via a wireless connection. The
problem was my Sony laptop with XP could use the internet
via its wirless connection but could not share files and
printers with either desktop. Would get "permission"
errors for workgroup and or node. When I ran
ipconfig /all as noted above the node type was peer-to-
peer. I removed via regedit the DhcpNodeType and
rebooted. FINALLY was able to file/print share with other
nodes on the network. I do have a couple of additional
questions
1. When I run ipconfig /all now the node type is unknown.
Is this a problem?
2. When I view the details of my wireless connection it
says that encryption is enabled but encryption is
disabled. Not really a concern.
THANKS FOR THE INFO. I have read many, many postings for
similar issues and this was the one that did it for me.
