Strange networking problem

S

Sean Rima

My main PC has two network cards along with an ISDN dialup card.

Network Card 1 is an wired network reltek 10/100 card attached to
another PC. Card 1 is 192.168.0.1 PC2 is 192.168.0.2

Network Card 2 is a wireless card 192.168.100.1 and laptop is
192.168.0.2

192.168.10.2 can ping 192.168.0.1 BUT cannot see the shares,
192.168.0.2 cannot see the shares on 192.168.100.2 nor can it see a
server on PC1 bound to 192.168.100.1

Simple diagram:

PC1 (card 1 192.168.0.1) <-------> PC2 (192.168.0.2)
^ (card 2 192.168.100.1)
`
+
LP1 (192.168.100.2)

Apart from going completely wireless is there an easier way to make
sure that all PCs see each other and share shares.

Sean,

To see the shares, all need to be on the same workgroup or domain.
How are you connecting the computers? direct cable? switch?

All are on the same network. PC1 is the hub having two lan cards, one
is wired the other wireless. I think I will switch all the wireless

Sean,

The wire is a cross wire cable, right?
Also since both networks are separate you need to configure a route.

In the computer that has 2 netcards, open the command prompt and type route.
You shoudl see the routes, if they are not there create teh entries for your
two networks

Okay how would I do that?

Sean,

The routes appear to be OK. Look:
192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1

192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.1

it says to go to 192.168.0.X use the 192.168.0.1 IP
To go to 192.168.100.x use the 192.168.100.1 IP

you haven't say if the cable you are using is a cross cable. To conenct a
computer to computer directly you need a cross cable.

Also try troubleshooting between just 2 computers when you have that working
start troubleshooting the other side

As far as I understand you have something like this:

pcA-----cable----PChub.....wireless.....pcB
and one isdn cable from pchub

if this is correct, work first on fixing one side, from pcA to PCHub then
work on the other side.
If you want to go to the internet from pcA and pcB you will need to install
Internet connection Sharin on pcHub (it will make life easier)

PCA is linked to PCHUB via a 10/10 switch, mabe get a USB wireless lan
card today and do away with it.
