HELP

[Guest]

Here it is. There are five computers - Comp A - printer; Comp B - Wireless
Internet & Software needed for all the computers; Comp C, D, E are all normal
computers with the necessary things needed to setup a network.

So far the whole networking setup has been done but the software and the
internet is not working on the other computers (Comp A, C, D, E). I also see
a hub (i think thats the name where all the cable plugs are plugged in) and
YES THE PRINTER IS WORKING ON ALL OF THEM.

Comp C, D and E can view each others document but cannot view neither Comp A
or B. When i open My Computer and click Comp A under Network Drives from Comp
C, D and E, it cannot open and i also see "Disconnected Network Drive"

WHEN I OPEN "WORKGROUP" FROM COMP B, I ONLY SEE COMP B BUT WHEN I OPEN FROM
THE OTHERS I SEE ALL BUT CANNOT OPEN COMP B

PLEASE GIVE ME AS MUCH INFO AS YOU CAN THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Two things:
What is the firewall situation on each computer?
How do the computers get their IP addresses?

 

[Guest]

Comp C, D and E ip addresses are manually configured and the the firewall is
on.

Are you sure that all the IP addresses are on the same subnet?

Why not configure all the computers with static IPs? Also, does the
firewall setting allow for file and print sharing?

Yes all of tthem are on the same subnet. These are the last three digits in
the ip address. Comp A -150(which is on a different work group than the
others), Comp B - 102, Comp C - 103, Comp D - 104 and Comp E - 105.

How can i configure all the computers with static IPs? How do i know if the
firewall setting allow for file and print sharing?
