Gerry,
I'd strongly bet that the bridge is the cause of your problem.
I'm selecting "view workgroup computers" to check and see
if my computers are seeing each other. Is there a better
way to do this?
I disabled the bridge with no positive results.
Let's take a
look at the static route, maybe a clue there.
Try disabling ICF on both computers. ICF is only intended for protection
against direct connection to the internet - the NAT router protects you, against
the internet, in your case. For protection against the wireless network, you
should install Sygate or Zone Alarm, after we get this working.
I turned off ICF on both computers with no positive results.
Please provide static route tables for each computer - GerryDT and GerryLT.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "route print >c:\route.txt" into the command window -
Open c:\route.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
I've noticed when I do properties on the network bridge,
that there is a section called "select the adapters you
want to use to connect to computers on your local network".
I noticed that the Local Area connection and the 1394
connection were selected and the wireless network
connection was not. So I selected the wireless connection,
but still no results, except that I could no longer connect
to the internet.
Here is the laptop route results with the wireless
connection "selected" in the bridge:
