Well, I've had my network up and running since the weekend but I have a minor snag that I'm not sure how to resolve... I cannot get two PC's to see one another over the network.
I have two laptop PC's & a PS2 connected to the router, one PC & the PS2 linked via CAT5 cable & the other PC linked wirelessly, see the attached schematic. All 3 can access the internet (simultaneously too) with no problem but I can't get either laptop to see the other.
Both laptops belong to the same workgroup, one runs XP Home whilst the other runs ME. I have also setup one shared directory on both PC's so that when they eventually do communicate I can transfer files between them. If I link them point-to-point using a cross-over cable then I can get them to talk without problems but it seems they have taken a vow of silence as far as my new network is concerned.
Any ideas oh network gurus?
TIA,
S.
