Wireless Network (File and Printer Sharing) Not working.I changed which computer is connected directly to my router, and now my
wireless network will not work. I have tried countless times to use the wireless network setup, but to no avail. I can't see the other computer. One computer is windows xp and the other is window media center 2003 or 4. I need to be able to turn on printer sharing. I use linksys router's and adapters, both computer are connected to the internet one directly through the router, and the other is using the router's wireless internet, but i can't get the printer sharing working because i can't see the computer. if turn off the firewall, can you ping each other by IP?
