Problems with 802.11G seeing Ethernet & vice versa

[Guest]

I have three computers in my house. The main one is directly connected to a
D-Link 514+ wireless router with Cat5E cable. The D-Link is then connected to
a Cisco 675 DSL modem. Both the laptop and the other PC have 802.11g
wireless, the laptop with integral Broadcom 802.11g mini-PCI and the PC using
a D-Link WDA-1320 pci card.

I've read practically every post and link on this newsgroup and the Wireless
Networking newsgroup and I still can't get my computers to see each other.

Suggestions? I hope I don't need to shell out for an access point.

Your router is to blane for this condition. Not owning a D-Link device, I
can go no further.

Correction. The router is a DI-514 and the PCI card is a DWL-G510.

In response to Jim's reply, I'll also try D-Link support and see what they
have to say. Come to think of it, I couldn't get my DI-614+ to connect with
the wireless either, only hard-wire.

Hi
Assuming that the two computers can use the Internet (an indication that
they have a valid connection to the Router).
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.

All of the computers should be able to access each other through wired
and wireless connections to the router.

You didn't describe what you've already tried, so please forgive me if
this duplicates it.

Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on each computer. If the Wizard detects
the router's shared Internet connection, tell it to use that.
Otherwise, tell the Wizard that the computer connects to the Internet
through a residential gateway (router). Also, tell the Wizard to
enable file and printer sharing.

Make sure that any firewall program (Norton, McAfee, ZoneAlarm,
PC-cillin, etc) is configured to allow access by other computers on
the local area network. Note that some antivirus programs include
firewall components, such as Norton Antivirus' "Internet Worm
Protection".

If there are still problems, open a command prompt window (Start > Run

cmd) on each computer and ping the other computers, both by their IP

addresses and by their computer names. For example:

ping 192.168.0.101
ping main
ping 192.168.0.102
ping laptop

Each ping on each computer should get four replies.

Right. So if I understand you correctly, I should assign an IP to each
computer and then make Zone Alarm allows it to be accessed. This can be done
through IP Config or thru Network setup?

Thank you. I'll also check out the links Jack suggested. We'll get this
puppy working yet.

You can assign an IP address to each computer (in the Local Area
Connection's TCP/IP properties), but you don't have to. By default,
each computer will get an IP address from the router. To find the IP
address that the router assigned, you can use the "ipconfig" command,
or you can right-click the Local Area Connection and click Status >
Support. Then, use that IP address in the "ping" command.

In any case, configure ZoneAlarm to assign the local area network's IP
address range to the Trusted zone.

You're welcome.

Just a thought but this works for me and I have the exact same setup ..

In a browser window enter this:

http://192.168.0.1

and press enter - that calls your router ,,

Then configure from there - that restarts and configures your router ..

By the way - the user name is admin and the password default is 000000

Good luck..

THANK YOU STEVE!

I know, don't use caps but you deserve it. I set up Zone Alarm to accept an
IP range, and my network works. I even have a printer for my laptop.

Thanks to all who helped.
