hi,
I have a computer that I am trying to get connected to an existing network.
All of them are running XP, but only two are able to "see" each other and
share files. I have a cable modem running into a wireless router, but the
computers are all connected wirelessly. I have tried pinging the computers,
and the one that I am trying to connect can ping the others, but the others
cannot ping the computer I am trying to connect. I have called the router's
company, and have determined that it is not the source of the problems.
Please help!
