Cannot view network computersI seem to be in a bit of a rut and would greatly appreciate some help getting things working again. Relative history: We have a family network using a Linksys WRT54G, with one wired PC (Main - WinXP Pro), 4 laptops (two running WinXP, one 2000 and one ME), and a printer on a Lynksys PSUS4 printserver. (For this issue I will only address our main PC and one of the WinXP laptops). All computers were able to see/share and print just fine until I upgraded our old Linksys DI-614+ broadband router with the newer Linksys WRT54G. We did not change our workgroup name nor any printer names. After getting the WRT54G configured, and a bit of fine-tuning of the printer/printserver (I had to add a port to the port tab under the printer properties on the PC), I've discovered that I can no longer view anything after clicking on the "View workgroup computers" link from the main PC (I get the error message, "[Workgroupname] is not accessible. You might not have permission... Contact the administrator... The list of servers for this workgroup is not available." >From my laptop, I am however able to at least see the workgroup listed after clicking on the "View workgroup computers" link, but I get thesame message as above after clicking on the workgroup icon. Both computers can successfully browse the 'net and print. I am the administrator on both. Could someone please help me with this problem? Many thanks in advance, jinnii In addition, I can ping the laptop from the PC successfully, but when I
try to ping the PC from the laptop it gets a Ping Timed out message. jinnii wrote: Show quoteHide quote > Good day, > > I seem to be in a bit of a rut and would greatly appreciate some help > getting things working again. > > Relative history: > > We have a family network using a Linksys WRT54G, with one wired PC > (Main - WinXP Pro), 4 laptops (two running WinXP, one 2000 and one ME), > and a printer on a Lynksys PSUS4 printserver.

The laptops are all wireless, and I am using Linksys DWL 650+ cardbus adapters in them. We are not utilizing the "G" capability of our new router yet. jmwills wrote: Show quoteHide quote > Are the laptops wires or wireless and what are you using to manage the > connections if wireless? > -- > MCP (2K) Net+, A+ > Server-Networking MVP > > > "jinnii" wrote: > > > In addition, I can ping the laptop from the PC successfully, but when I > > try to ping the PC from the laptop it gets a Ping Timed out message. > > > > jinnii wrote: > > > Good day, > > > > > > I seem to be in a bit of a rut and would greatly appreciate some help > > > getting things working again. > > > > > > Relative history: > > > > > > We have a family network using a Linksys WRT54G, with one wired PC > > > (Main - WinXP Pro), 4 laptops (two running WinXP, one 2000 and one ME), > > > and a printer on a Lynksys PSUS4 printserver.

asking... ( http://www.expansys.com/forumthread.asp?code=DWL-520PLUS&thread=17 ) Is it possible both were? I recall having installed the D-Link utility v1.0 on the laptop, and we use WEP encryption, but when I looked under the properties /wireless networks tab after doubleclicking the wireless network connection icon, I noticed that "Allow Windows..." was checked (isn't that WZC?). I tried to uncheck it but the window froze, so I uninstalled the d-link utility and reinstalled it using a newer CD that says v3.02. The laptop can now ping itself but not the PC. The PC (wired) cannot ping itself but can ping the laptop. jmwills wrote: Show quoteHide quote > Again, waht are you using to manage the connection?

Not sure if you need this info but I reinstalled the d-link wireless connection utility on the laptop and unchecked WZC, and can now ping the laptop from the PC but not itself, and from the laptop I can now ping itself but not the PC. ipconfig /all results from wired PC: (do you also need the results from the laptop?)

below) that a gentleman named Chuck gave me in a more recent thread I started called, "Unable to open *View Workgroup Computers* nor access workgroup." Basically I turned/toggled off all of my firewalls (I had both Windows and a Norton Security Personal Firewall turned on on one of the PC's), and only turned back on the Windows Firewalls on all computers. I took his advice and really read through the links he suggested, even though most did not apply to my situation, as it helped me step back and review my set-up more carefully. Hope this helps... --jinnii See this link: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web/browse_thread/thread/f381d5a316322c8c?hl=en On Mon, 18 Sep 2006 12:01:03 -0700, MisterMasters <MisterMast***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: Show quoteHide quote >I've been experiencing the same problems and have been watching this thread >for a resolution - tell me, what did you do to your firewall to get it to >work??? > >Thanks! > >"jinnii" wrote: > >> Followup: >> >> After perusing several links recommended to me in another post, it >> appears it was a firewall issue and our network is up and running >> beautifully! >> >> Thanks... >> >> jinnii >> >> >> http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web/browse_frm/thread/f381d5a316322c8c/b761d75f62378d8f?hl=en#b761d75f62378d8f >> >> >> jinnii wrote: >> > Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do now to be able to >> > access the laptop and vise versa?
