Pnly some computers can see each other; all can connect to interneComputer A: desktop PC running XP Computer B: desktop PC running XP Computer C: MacBook Pro running OS X 10.latest Netgear Wireless Router model WGR614 v6 Comcast Cable Network is connected cable -> router -> computers I have internet connectivity on all three computers Checking the router's attached devices from the utility homepage (192.168.1.1), I can see three computers are connected to the network. However one of the computers, Computer A, has no Device Name assigned to it, even though I had run Network Setup Utility on it, and it has a corresponding IP and MAC Address (IP verified on the computer through ipconfig). So, here's what happens: Computer C can browse Computer B. Computer B is apparently aware of Computer C, but I futzed something up, so I can't browse my Mac (although at one time I did do this). But that's not the main problem. The main problem is computer A can't communicate with Computer B or Computer C in either direction. What makes it weirder is that using ping, I've found that Computer A can ping Computer B and Computer C, but not itself!!? Computer B can see itself and Computer C. Computer C can see itself and Computer B. In otherwords, Computer A cannot be pinged by anyone, including itself, but Computers B & C can be pinged by everyone, including Computer A. Is this making any sense? Because I can't even begin to figure out where the problem lay. In article <A44BFFCB-D87E-4592-99F4-EFC147CF5***@microsoft.com>,
