I have two XP Pro machines connected via WLAN, each of
which can see the internet through the router, both can
ping the router, both have unique IP addresses (DHCP
assigned) and unique computer names, both show up in the
router DHCP table. Neither can ping the other, and neither
detects the other as part of the network. Any ideas?
Thannks in advance.
