I have three computers in my house. The main one is directly connected to a
D-Link 514+ wireless router with Cat5E cable. The D-Link is then connected to
a Cisco 675 DSL modem. Both the laptop and the other PC have 802.11g
wireless, the laptop with integral Broadcom 802.11g mini-PCI and the PC using
a D-Link WDA-1320 pci card.
I've read practically every post and link on this newsgroup and the Wireless
Networking newsgroup and I still can't get my computers to see each other.
Suggestions? I hope I don't need to shell out for an access point.
All of the computers should be able to access each other through wired
and wireless connections to the router.
You didn't describe what you've already tried, so please forgive me if
this duplicates it.
Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on each computer. If the Wizard detects
the router's shared Internet connection, tell it to use that.
Otherwise, tell the Wizard that the computer connects to the Internet
through a residential gateway (router). Also, tell the Wizard to
enable file and printer sharing.
Make sure that any firewall program (Norton, McAfee, ZoneAlarm,
PC-cillin, etc) is configured to allow access by other computers on
the local area network. Note that some antivirus programs include
firewall components, such as Norton Antivirus' "Internet Worm
Protection".
If there are still problems, open a command prompt window (Start > Run
cmd) on each computer and ping the other computers, both by their IPaddresses and by their computer names. For example:
ping 192.168.0.101
ping main
ping 192.168.0.102
ping laptop
Each ping on each computer should get four replies.
