Your router prob works on 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.1.1. You need to program a range of IP addresses into your firewall for home network.

Dave Before you fitted the wireless router, was your desktop PC connect to the broadband router via USB?, only ask as the IP settings for the network card in your PC might not be set to automatic so it won't be given an IP address by the router Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Before you fitted the wireless router, was your desktop PC connect to the broadband router via USB?, only ask as the IP settings for the network card in your PC might not be set to automatic so it won't be given an IP address by the router Easy way to try, find out what IP address the router home page should be set to. Load 'command prompt' from All programs-accesories. Type ping 192.168.2.1 (or whatever your router ip address is) and press enter. You should see loads of replies from router. If not change firewall settings and try again. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiro Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 you need to setup a workgroup on both machines then share files etc, I assume they are bot xp home? Or get yourself a nice linux server and run a domain so much easier, but peer to peer is easy, there are wizards in xp under networking with the laptop being a wireless connection and desktop being hard wired do you setup a wireless on one and home network on other or both the same or am i barking up wrong tree?

IPAlarms Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 with the laptop being a wireless connection and desktop being hard wired do you setup a wireless on one and home network on other or both the same or am i barking up wrong tree? It doesn't matter if the connection is wired or wireless for file sharing. Run the network setup wizard on both computers and share the relevant folders. Personally, I would only share a folder on the laptop so that files could be copied to/from it when logged into the main PC.

amateurandy Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 managed to get desktop and laptop on internet now need to sort out file sharing etc any clues? Use the Wizards, they do all you need. Delving into anything else is pointless for a novice (initially). go on then old hand what you gonna do, the only thing you might be able to attack is his dns servers!! All that is local netowrk ip's nothing external!! Quite right. Haven't you worked out whose they are yet old hand? Must be even older than me then!

Or get yourself a nice linux server and run a domain so much easier, but peer to peer is easy, there are wizards in xp under networking hi james, i run xp on my laptop and desktop, both go onto the internet no probs even via wireless access point, i can see each machine both ways from each other, and have shared files on both, yet when i try to access and pull over a file i get 'you do not have the correct permission contact your network administrator'. this also happens to the shared printers but no problem with wireless print server. both machines are single user autologin (not multi users) i've used the network wizards, just can't sus this out and end up 'slipper' networking with my usb dongle. i tried installing netbeu as this resolved issues on W98 regarding W95 machines on my wifes old firms network i have Norton Interenet Security on one and AVG Free on my laptop, i suspect this may be the problem, but my knowledge and understading of configuration at this point is 'challenged' to say the least, for some reason i just glaze over at ip addresses, sub net masks and so on (anyway, i thought they were not needed since the cold war ) . regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

amateurandy Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 if norton is firewalling your local lan then this may be your issue, btw your not using xp pro or win2k on either with a domain setup are you?NetBuie is an old windows networking protocol left of from windows for workgroups i beleive and wont really help with ip. I would bet its the norton fire wall, if you disable it for a bit what happens. Also check that you xp firewall isnt fully turned on as you might need exceptions if youve added some 'strange' things Agreed. Don't bother with Netbeui. If your access point has a firewall in it (which it should) then turn off all firewalling on both computers and try again with the wizards. It helps if both computers are in the same workgroup (typically MSHOME) but it isn't mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfur mo Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 dont turn your firewall off on your wan port though!!! i doubt there is a fire wall on the wireless side and i assume you have a wireless router not a router and an access point? Turn off the firewall or allow certain ip's to be trusted on norton. If you have xp pro/rdp or VNC and can setup the port forwarding ill do it for you hi james, i have a combined dsl router/modem and an access point, the desktop is direct off the router, laptop has a usrobitics pmcia card (recommend this card to anyone as it go's like stink - 125mps). i will install vnc and beg your kind offer of help, as to be honest network config stuff just leaves me so confussed, i end up wishing i was doing the washing up after feeding of the 5000 so possibly something to do with my well known faulty mental processes for remmebering first names correctly - Dave:rolleyes: off out to work so will pm you when by machine over next few days when time allows regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

What make/model is it, how is it connected (USB, LAN, wireless) and what setup software did you run on the PC? Oh, and what ISP is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
