I have a linksys router WRT54G. I have one laptop running win xp homeIf turning off the firewall solved the problem, then it would certainly seem
connected to the router via a lan cable and two laptops (one with vista
one
with xp) connected via wireless. All three computers are able to surf the
web. I figured out how to get some of the file sharing to work. Right now
I
can see files on either of the wirelessly connected laptops from either of
the other two laptops, but I can't see files on the wire-connected laptop
from either of the wireless-connected laptops. Somebody i talked to before
mentioned a setting on the router to get the wireless and the wired
devices
to play nice, but i can't seem to find anything in the settings that
looks
like that. Any advice? Also, firewalls are turned off on all three
laptops,
that seemed to be the sticking point. So, file sharing enabled at the
expense of not having a firewall.
So, any idea what i'm missing i.e. what do i need to do to be able to see
the files on the wired laptop from the other two laptops?
that you have not setup these programs correctly.
In particular, the firewalls may not be passing ICMP packets.
Hence, with the firewalls turned on, can you ping the other computers from
each one?
