Cannot view network computers

[jinnii]

Good day,

I seem to be in a bit of a rut and would greatly appreciate some help
getting things working again.

Relative history:

We have a family network using a Linksys WRT54G, with one wired PC
(Main - WinXP Pro), 4 laptops (two running WinXP, one 2000 and one ME),
and a printer on a Lynksys PSUS4 printserver. (For this issue I will
only address our main PC and one of the WinXP laptops).

All computers were able to see/share and print just fine until I
upgraded our old Linksys DI-614+ broadband router with the newer
Linksys WRT54G. We did not change our workgroup name nor any printer
names.

After getting the WRT54G configured, and a bit of fine-tuning of the
printer/printserver (I had to add a port to the port tab under the
printer properties on the PC), I've discovered that I can no longer
view anything after clicking on the "View workgroup computers" link
from the main PC (I get the error message, "[Workgroupname] is not
accessible. You might not have permission... Contact the
administrator... The list of servers for this workgroup is not
available."

From my laptop, I am however able to at least see the workgroup listed

after clicking on the "View workgroup computers" link, but I get the
same message as above after clicking on the workgroup icon.

Both computers can successfully browse the 'net and print. I am the
administrator on both.

Could someone please help me with this problem?

Many thanks in advance,

jinnii

In addition, I can ping the laptop from the PC successfully, but when I
try to ping the PC from the laptop it gets a Ping Timed out message.

Are the laptops wires or wireless and what are you using to manage the
connections if wireless?

Hi jmwills...

The laptops are all wireless, and I am using Linksys DWL 650+ cardbus
adapters in them. We are not utilizing the "G" capability of our new
router yet.

connections if wireless?

Ping is a network command. Ipconfig is not; thus being able to use ipconfig
doesn't prove that your internet is setup correctly. Perhaps you have
disabled ICMP packets. Please post the results of ipcongig/all.

Sorry, I did a quick search and now understand better what you were
asking...

( http://www.expansys.com/forumthread.asp?code=DWL-520PLUS&thread=17 )

Is it possible both were?

I recall having installed the D-Link utility v1.0 on the laptop, and we
use WEP encryption, but when I looked under the properties /wireless
networks tab after doubleclicking the wireless network connection icon,
I noticed that "Allow Windows..." was checked (isn't that WZC?). I
tried to uncheck it but the window froze, so I uninstalled the d-link
utility and reinstalled it using a newer CD that says v3.02.

The laptop can now ping itself but not the PC.

The PC (wired) cannot ping itself but can ping the laptop.

Again, waht are you using to manage the connection? A D-Link utility or the
WZC?

Followup:

After perusing several links recommended to me in another post, it
appears it was a firewall issue and our network is up and running
beautifully!

...and the router is the Linksys WRT54G Wireless Broadband Router.

A new development: I now can't ping the PC from itself; I get the timed
out message. I can run the ipconfig /all command successfully.
Ping is a network command. Ipconfig is not; thus being able to use ipconfig
doesn't prove that your internet is setup correctly. Perhaps you have
disabled ICMP packets. Please post the results of ipcongig/all.

The laptops are all wireless, and I am using Linksys DWL 650+ cardbus
adapters in them. We are not utilizing the "G" capability of our new
router yet.

Good day,

I seem to be in a bit of a rut and would greatly appreciate some
help
getting things working again.

Relative history:

We have a family network using a Linksys WRT54G, with one wired PC
(Main - WinXP Pro), 4 laptops (two running WinXP, one 2000 and one
ME),
and a printer on a Lynksys PSUS4 printserver. (For this issue I
will
only address our main PC and one of the WinXP laptops).

All computers were able to see/share and print just fine until I
upgraded our old Linksys DI-614+ broadband router with the newer
Linksys WRT54G. We did not change our workgroup name nor any
printer
names.

After getting the WRT54G configured, and a bit of fine-tuning of
the
printer/printserver (I had to add a port to the port tab under the
printer properties on the PC), I've discovered that I can no longer
view anything after clicking on the "View workgroup computers" link
from the main PC (I get the error message, "[Workgroupname] is not
accessible. You might not have permission... Contact the
administrator... The list of servers for this workgroup is not
available."

From my laptop, I am however able to at least see the workgroup
listed
after clicking on the "View workgroup computers" link, but I get
the
same message as above after clicking on the workgroup icon.

Both computers can successfully browse the 'net and print. I am
the
administrator on both.

Could someone please help me with this problem?

Many thanks in advance,

jinnii

I've been experiencing the same problems and have been watching this thread
for a resolution - tell me, what did you do to your firewall to get it to
work???

Thanks!

Followup:

After perusing several links recommended to me in another post, it
appears it was a firewall issue and our network is up and running
beautifully!

Thanks...

Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do now to be able to
access the laptop and vise versa? As it stands, I still can't see
anything in the workgroup (still get the messwage [Workgroup] not
accessible).

Thank you...

Hi Jim,

Not sure if you need this info but I reinstalled the d-link wireless
connection utility on the laptop and unchecked WZC, and can now ping
the laptop from the PC but not itself, and from the laptop I can now

See the advice in message 6 and 8 (tree view of the link I pasted in
below) that a gentleman named Chuck gave me in a more recent thread I
started called, "Unable to open *View Workgroup Computers* nor access
workgroup."

Basically I turned/toggled off all of my firewalls (I had both Windows
and a Norton Security Personal Firewall turned on on one of the PC's),
and only turned back on the Windows Firewalls on all computers.

I took his advice and really read through the links he suggested, even
though most did not apply to my situation, as it helped me step back
and review my set-up more carefully.

Hope this helps...
