Re: Problems with 802.11G seeing Ethernet & vice versa

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Just a thought but this works for me and I have the exact same setup ..

In a browser window enter this:

http://192.168.0.1

and press enter - that calls your router ,,

Then configure from there - that restarts and configures your router ..

By the way - the user name is admin and the password default is 000000

Good luck..

I have three computers in my house. The main one is directly connected to a

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 IP
addresses 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.

Right. So if I understand you correctly, I should assign an IP to each
computer and then make Zone Alarm allows it to be accessed. This can be done
through IP Config or thru Network setup?

You can assign an IP address to each computer (in the Local Area
Connection's TCP/IP properties), but you don't have to. By default,
each computer will get an IP address from the router. To find the IP
address that the router assigned, you can use the "ipconfig" command,
or you can right-click the Local Area Connection and click Status >
Support. Then, use that IP address in the "ping" command.

In any case, configure ZoneAlarm to assign the local area network's IP
address range to the Trusted zone.

Thank you. I'll also check out the links Jack suggested. We'll get this
puppy working yet.

You're welcome. :-)
