I have a lnksys wired router with 3 PCs attached in a home network that is
working fine. I added a netgear rangemax wireless router and connected it to
the linksys. I then added 2 wireless laptops whih are working fine with the
netgear/linksys router configuration. But I can't seem to add the laptops to
the existing home network. I run the network wizard and give the name of the
exisitng network and it seems to finish ak but when I try to add access to a
printer from one of the other PCs to the laptop it doesn't find any of the
other PCs in the network when I have it browse for a printer. It shows the
network name but I can't get the network name to expand. What am I missing?
