Home Network

[mathius78]

I just got a wirless router for my PC and laptop. If I want to make a
home network, PC and 1 laptop, do I need a wireless network adaptor
for the PC or does the router do that?? My laptop has a built in card
but the PC just has a regular network adaptor. I am under the
impression that the wireless router will enable me to build a network,
as long as my wireless device has an adaptor. I am now thinking I
need a wireless adaptor for the PC as well... is that right??
Thanks!!!

Hi,

Some wireless routers also include ethernet ports (typically 4). If
yours does, and if your PC is close enough, you can just connect the PC
to one of those ports using a CAT5 cable.

[Note the above is in addition to the 1 ethernet port to connect to your
cablemodem/DSL modem (typically labelled "WAN").

If your router doesn't have any ethernet ports, then your only choice
would be to get a wireless PCI or USB adapter for your PC.

Hey, thanks for the reply, my PC is connected to the router, there is
no issue there, I am online with both devices but it's not a network.
I would like to be able build a home network so I can share files,
etc...

Hi,

Oh, sorry. Misunderstood.

If you have both the PC and laptop connected to the wireless router, you
should be able to "see" the laptop from the PC and vice-versa, in "My
Network Places" -> View workgroup computers, or whatever is equivalent
in your version of Windows (I'm assuming Windows on both PC and laptop).

Assuming that that is true, if you, for example, share one of the drives
on the laptop, you should then be able to access that drive from the PC,
and vice-versa.

Hey, the PC is the only thing connected to the router, the laptop is
wi fi. I don't want to have to connect the laptop via cable, I just
want to use it wireless. Should I get a wireless adaptor for the PC
in order to network to the laptop?

Its a good idea to have at least one computer connected directly
to the router. It enables you to set the passwords ect. for wifi
access, If you make an error form a wifi controlled computer, you
might lock yourself out completely. Not so when you have one connected
directly.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, you don't have to connect the laptop via
cable. If the laptop is wireless to the wireless router via WIFI, and
the PC is connected to one of the ports on the same wireless router:


Wireless <====== WIFI =======> Laptop
Router <====== cable ======> PC

then both the laptop and PC are already on the same "network". You
should then be able to see each other per my previous post, assuming
that both machines belong to the same Windows "workgroup" (right click
"My Computer" -> Properties -> Computer Name tab to check this).

Do you have firewall enabled on either or both the laptop and the PC?
Maybe that's enabled, and preventing the machines from seeing each other
(i.e., blocking the ports that are needed for Windows networking to work).

A basic command you can use is ping. The address is the
address of the distant computer you want to verify is
connected.

ping 192.168.1.6

You can ping from laptop to router.
Ping from laptop to other PC.
And all the other possible combinations.

You run the ping command in a DOS (command prompt) window.

The ipconfig command can be used to get your local
address on the laptop or the PC. You can then verify
whether DHCP worked properly, and the router "gave"
an address to the connected computers. The command is sumply:

ipconfig

When you set up DHCP on the router, usually there is a
starting address (192.168.1.5) and you can also specify
a maximum number of devices that can connect (2 or more in
your case).

The ping command doesn't rely on workgroups or shares. So
those upper levels of networking can be ignored, until the
lower layers are working. As long as you can "ping" everything,
that is a start.

I expect a port has to be open, for ping to work. So if a
Firewall was absolutely blocking everything, then ping
won't necessarily work. But ping is the best command I know
of, to get started.

To help out the other responders, you might update the networking
drawing, showing what addresses things seem to have so far. For
example:
router public addr (WAN)
216.16.211.217
cable_modem ------------------- router
| |
wired PC | | wireless laptop
192.168.1.5 | | 192.168.1.6
PC Laptop

Thanks Paul, I will try to ping it. The DHCP client list shows my

shouldn't need another adaptor right??? The network adaptor on my PC

No, it shouldn't matter what media connects them. It is a router,
and for every spigot it has got on it, they are intended to
connect things. So wired should be fine. My router is only
wired, and has no wireless, and I don't have a problem.

If you are running XP on both machines, run the "Setup a Home or Small
Office Network" wizard on both machines. Make sure both machines are
members of the same workgroup and turn file sharing on. Then you can
go to whatever device you want to share, right click on it, choose
sharing and share it on the network. Devices are not shared by
default.

Hi,
Some wireless routers also include ethernet ports (typically 4). If
yours does, and if your PC is close enough, you can just connect the PC
to one of those ports using a CAT5 cable.
[Note the above is in addition to the 1 ethernet port to connect to your
cablemodem/DSL modem (typically labelled "WAN").
If your router doesn't have any ethernet ports, then your only choice
would be to get a wireless PCI or USB adapter for your PC.

Hi,

Oh, sorry. Misunderstood.

If you have both the PC and laptop connected to the wireless router, you
should be able to "see" the laptop from the PC and vice-versa, in "My
Network Places" -> View workgroup computers, or whatever is equivalent
in your version of Windows (I'm assuming Windows on both PC and laptop).

Assuming that that is true, if you, for example, share one of the drives
on the laptop, you should then be able to access that drive from the PC,
and vice-versa.

No. They're using the same router and so they are already on the same
network. You just have to enable some sort of file sharing for them to
access each other's files.

No, you don't need another adapter.

The network adaptor on my PC
is NOT a wireless adaptor, does that matter??

No, it does not matter.

Make sure that both PCs are in the same workgroup (the default name is
workgroup). This can be set by:
1. right clicking on "My computer"
2. then selecting properties
3. then selecting the Computer Name tab
4. Then clicking the Change button.

The workgroup name must be the same.

Share some files by enabling file and printer sharing in the network
configuration panel for your network adapters on each system.

The main stumbling block for most having problems sharing is,

1. Turn off all Firewalls while setting up sharing. Once sharing is
accomplished it may be turned on.

2. Ensure ALL antivirus or monitoring software ie Norton is told to accept
the other comp(s) IP address as Friendly or Trusted. Look through the
software settings.

3. Once you have changed ANY settings it IS a GOOD idea to reboot...........
