new router and sharing failure

G

Guest

I have a small home network. Two desktops running XP pro, one desktop
running 2000 pro, and a laptop running XP pro. The two XP desktops connect
to my router by way of ethernet cable. The laptop and desktop running 2000
pro use wireless adaptors.

I just replaced an old linksys wireless b router with a new d-link WBR-2310
wireless grouter. Now I can not get any of the machines to see and others on
the network. The printers cannot be seen either.

I am not a pro and have no idea where to turn next. I have turned on
sharing, setup the home network, and in fact, done everything I had done to
set things up with the old linksys router but to no avail. Can someone
please help me? The tech support for d-link say they will not help.

Based on the post from Mr. B yesterday (Can't browse yo my other PCs
after a network change) check your firewall settings (on each computer).

IIRC, Linksys routers generally assign IP addresses in the range
192.168.1.x while D-Link uses 192.168.0.x. Thus if you had your
firewalls configured to permit 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.255 as
"trusted," you'll have to change that to 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.255.
