Hi,
Setting-up a small home network(peer-to-peer), 2 Desktop, 1 Laptop, linksys
wireless-G router(w/ 4 port switch), modem. All PCs assign unique names,
given the same Group name, All PCs have XP SP2, Run network setup wizard on
all three machines, TCP/IP config. to Auto. assign IP Address. Modem is
attached to Router by
cat5 cable(internet port), 2 Desktops attached to Router ports(Ethernet).
All PCs connected to the Internet & brousing O.K. except for intermitent
break in brousing. Laptop is connected wireless(obviously I did thewireless
config. also).
My problem is I am unable to see the PCs on the network. I run Diognostic
tool & IP Address failed on Dasktop "A". Ping the Address of the Desktop from
the Desktop & I get "Invalid destination etc.". Ping desktop Address from
Laptop & Iget "Unreachable .....".
From Desktop "A" I Click "Start/Run" the type "\\name of desktop B then
press enter & I got "Path could not be found". Interesting observation, ping
127.0.0.1 on Laptop & Desktop "B" & all is well no loss, however when I
ping 127.0.0.1 on Desktop "A" it timed out, none received, all 4 loss.
The Router is using the Modem address as its gateway address & the PCs using
the Router address as their gateway address, I believe this correct.
I've mess around with Norton Internet Security firewall, no success, I might
not have done all what is required. I've tried "ipconfig /release & ipconfig
/renew" to no avail.
Awai
