Wired and Wireless mixed network

Guest

I currently have a home wired network that operates with no problem. I
recently added another computer to the network but this one is wireless. I
can access the internet with no problem from the wireless unit but i am
unable to access the other computers or the printer and the other computers
can not access the wireless one. anyone have any ideas?

Firewall settings on the new computer? Ipconfig results? Netbois over
tcp/ip enabled? Error messages? You need to provide some info please.

access. as far as other settings i do not know what they are except default
for a home network, as i said my wired home network has been operating fine

Hi
Wireless is a mere replacement to Wire. If your Wireless Computer can use
the Internet it means that the Wire replacement works OK.
File and Reource Sharing has nothing to do with Wire or Wireless if you can
Not Share, it is a Network Sharing problem.

How is the wireless pc connected to the wired network? Did you add a
wireless router or access point? The wireless pc may be on a different
subnet from your wired network if you added a wireless router. Please post
the results of ipconfig /all from the wireless computer and one of the wired
computers.
