Problems with 802.11G seeing Ethernet & vice versaI have three computers in my house. The main one is directly connected to a
D-Link 514+ wireless router with Cat5E cable. The D-Link is then connected to a Cisco 675 DSL modem. Both the laptop and the other PC have 802.11g wireless, the laptop with integral Broadcom 802.11g mini-PCI and the PC using a D-Link WDA-1320 pci card. I've read practically every post and link on this newsgroup and the Wireless Networking newsgroup and I still can't get my computers to see each other. Suggestions? I hope I don't need to shell out for an access point. -- I know enuff to be dangerous.

In response to Jim's reply, I'll also try D-Link support and see what they have to say. Come to think of it, I couldn't get my DI-614+ to connect with the wireless either, only hard-wire. -- Show quoteHide quoteI know enuff to be dangerous.

Assuming that the two computers can use the Internet (an indication that they have a valid connection to the Router). 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 is allowed to be shared. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304040 Jack (MVP-Networking).

Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on each computer. If the Wizard detects the router's shared Internet connection, tell it to use that. Otherwise, tell the Wizard that the computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway (router). Also, tell the Wizard to enable file and printer sharing. Make sure that any firewall program (Norton, McAfee, ZoneAlarm, PC-cillin, etc) is configured to allow access by other computers on the local area network. Note that some antivirus programs include firewall components, such as Norton Antivirus' "Internet Worm Protection". If there are still problems, open a command prompt window (Start > Run > cmd) on each computer and ping the other computers, both by their IP addresses and by their computer names. For example:ping 192.168.0.101 ping main ping 192.168.0.102 ping laptop Each ping on each computer should get four replies. Right. So if I understand you correctly, I should assign an IP to each
computer and then make Zone Alarm allows it to be accessed. This can be done through IP Config or thru Network setup? Thank you. I'll also check out the links Jack suggested. We'll get this puppy working yet. -- Show quoteHide quoteI know enuff to be dangerous.

Connection's TCP/IP properties), but you don't have to. By default, each computer will get an IP address from the router.

In a browser window enter this: http://192.168.0.1 and press enter - that calls your router ,, Then configure from there - that restarts and configures your router .. By the way - the user name is admin and the password default is 000000 Good luck..

I know, don't use caps but you deserve it. I set up Zone Alarm to accept an IP range, and my network works. I even have a printer for my laptop.
