Hi Again,
I disable Norton Firewall on the individual Machines, run Network Diagnostic
tool, all tests were passed. I am now seeing all PCs on the Network, its a
little early to say whether the intermitent break in Internet brousing has
stopped.

Many Thanks for the prompt & effective responses.

Hi,
Setting-up a small home network(peer-to-peer), 2 Desktop, 1 Laptop, linksys
wireless-G router(w/ 4 port switch), modem. All PCs assign unique names,
given the same Group name, All PCs have XP SP2, Run network setup wizard on
all three machines, TCP/IP config. to Auto. assign IP Address. Modem is
attached to Router by
cat5 cable(internet port), 2 Desktops attached to Router ports(Ethernet).
All PCs connected to the Internet & brousing O.K. except for intermitent
break in brousing. Laptop is connected wireless(obviously I did thewireless
config. also).

My problem is I am unable to see the PCs on the network. I run Diognostic
tool & IP Address failed on Dasktop "A". Ping the Address of the Desktop from
the Desktop & I get "Invalid destination etc.". Ping desktop Address from
Laptop & Iget "Unreachable .....".
From Desktop "A" I Click "Start/Run" the type "\\name of desktop B then
press enter & I got "Path could not be found". Interesting observation, ping
127.0.0.1 on Laptop & Desktop "B" & all is well no loss, however when I
ping 127.0.0.1 on Desktop "A" it timed out, none received, all 4 loss.

The Router is using the Modem address as its gateway address & the PCs using
the Router address as their gateway address, I believe this correct.

I've mess around with Norton Internet Security firewall, no success, I might
not have done all what is required. I've tried "ipconfig /release & ipconfig
/renew" to no avail.

Awai,

To start, please un install NIS. Third party personal firewalls represent
probably the biggest single source of problems reported here. Follow detailed
instructions from Symantec.

If no help yet, look at "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config
server", and "net config workstation", from each computer, and diagnose the
problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely (download browstat!):
