Networking with a LANI have been running a wireless LAN with the host computer an XP and the
client a 98 using wirless adapter (BELKIN). The network and wireless internet access works fine between these two computers. I recently purchased a laptop with wireless capabilities and tried to add it to the network. I am able to get wireless internet access but cannot get on the network. Can't see the other two computers and the other computers can't see the laptop. Any suggestions? Check your third party security software. Every brand name computer sold
these days comes with a battery of such software and it is almost always configured to block everything except Internet.

Does this mean firewall and how do I configure it? The laptop is a Toshiba running XP Home BTW. Thanks! Show quoteHide quote "Doug Sherman [MVP]" wrote: > Check your third party security software.

May be this can Help. 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).
