Wireless networks

[FayeC]

I have 3 computers connected using a wireless router (DLink - DI 624).
2 computers are wired and one is wireless.
They all use NetBEUI to share files and printer.
When the wireless laptop is connected through the wireless card it
doesn't see the network. When it's connected through the lan port it
sees the computers and shares files ok.
How can I get it to be part of the network using the wireless
connection??

Thanks,

FayeC

It's possible that the wireless router doesn't support the NetBEUI
protocol on a wireless connection.

NetBEUI is an unsupported protocol in Windows XP. That means that
Microsoft hasn't tested it, doesn't guarantee that it will work, and
recommends not using it.

I'd remove NetBEUI from all computers and use TCP/IP for file and
printer sharing. That's safe, because your wireless router acts as a
firewall and prevents other Internet users from accessing your
computers.
