Connection Problem with Wireless to EthernetHi,
I have an XP(SP3) desktop connected via ethernet to a Zoom X6 modem/WAP, Gateway/Switch. A Vista HP (SP1) desktop is also wired to the Zoom. Communication between these two work fine. I also have a laptop Vista HP (SP1) on the wireless link and it communicates with the XP box and the internet. How do I make the Vista Laptop talk to the Vista desktop via wireless to the Zoom device and then ethernet to the desktop? Thanks, Mike Are they in the same subnet? Can hey ping each other?

boxes could ping each other. That was with the firewalls shut off on all boxes Today I left the firewalls up and put the physical address for the NIC in each box in the Trusted zone of Norton's firewall setup form. After that, all boxes see each other and can be pinged. I have no idea why that did not work when the firewalls were (supposedly) shut down. But anyway the communication problem is solved. I hope I have not created a security problem. Thanks for your input. Mike Show quoteHide quote "Robert L.
