connection to networked computers

i have an asus g1 with vista ultimate loaded. when i plug in the network
cable i can see and access all computers. when i connect to my home network
wirelessly, through my belkin wireless router i only have internet, sometimes
it sees the other computers and sometimes it doesnt but both times you can
not access them. this is very frustrating as i play games on the local
network. well use too! i have enable private connection and i have an
advanced understanding of networks and still can not fix. please help me with
a solution!

Assuming the wireless also displays local only, this search results may help,

Vista: Wireless local onlySome wireless NIC or router DHCP may be incompatibilities with Vista. The Vista may be able to access local network but the Internet and shows “Local only”. ...

my wireless is showing up local and internet, network discovery is on and in
private zone. when i plug in the network cable i have no issues and
everything works fine but i use it wirelessly. when i connect to the network
wirelessly i can get internet fine but i cannot see or connect to the other
computers on my network. i have 2 computers running vista, one computer
running xp pro and a lan network drive. this is driving me crazy!

tried this already, i think it might have something to do with the router and
how it connects its wired section to its wireless section. i cannot connect
to the routers ip of 192.168.2.1 wirelessly, but can connect to it when
wired. mmm got me thinking.

it was the router!!!!! it had two wpa-psk keys. one gave me full access and
the other was guest access, which allows internet access only. i was using
the guest access key and not the full access key. punched in the new key
everything worked straight away.
thanks for your input though.

cheers steve
