Wireless PC cannot see non wireless workgroupI have a network of 5 PC's, one is wireless, the other 4 connected via a hub.
The hub is connected to a router. The router is also wireless enabled therfore the wireless pc connects via that route, but the wireless pc for some reason cannot see the workgroup and hence open shared files etc on the network. It is saying - you may not have permissions. This worked fine until i needed to renew the router due to a fault, it is the same type of router. I am thinking it is because the wireless pc attaches to the wireless network on start up but i still thought it would see the other workgroupo via the router. Any clues what i may have done wrong would be very much appreciated. Post the output of the "ipconfig /all" command from a working workstation
and your non-working laptop. How, exactly, are you trying to "see" the other computers from your laptop. Also, make sure the laptop has the same workgroup name as the other PCs. -Frank Show quoteHide quote "Khartoum" <Khart***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:51AEEDA6-E433-4DDF-83D3-8D4E1159F77F@microsoft.com... >I have a network of 5 PC's, one is wireless, the other 4 connected via a >hub. > The hub is connected to a router.

Assuming that all the computers have an IP assigned by the Router's DHCP and are in the same Network group.

addresses and they were. They are all in the same network group. I have set up all the shares. Thats why i am baffled, it was working fine until i replaced the router with a new one, not done anything different. i was wondering whether the wireless settings in any way can affect it Show quoteHide quote "Jack (MVP-Networking)." wrote: > Hi > Assuming that all the computers have an IP assigned by the Router's DHCP and > are in the same Network group. > Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network > settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of > each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared. > Vista File and Printer Sharing- > http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/evaluate/vista_fp.mspx > Basic XP - > http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/filesharing.mspx > Advanced XP - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304040 > Printer Sharing XP - > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/honeycutt_july2.mspx > Windows Native Firewall setting for Sharing XP - > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357 > Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista - > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 > Jack (MVP-Networking). > > "Khartoum" <Khart***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:51AEEDA6-E433-4DDF-83D3-8D4E1159F77F@microsoft.com... > >I have a network of 5 PC's, one is wireless, the other 4 connected via a > >hub. > > The hub is connected to a router.

Wireless settings should not affect sharing unless there is some issues with the Router per-se. Look at the Router's Brand support site, if there is a updated firmware update the Router.
