I recently installed a wireless home netowk using Microfsot's Wireless G router and Newtwork adapter card.
I have a desktop running XP Professional and a laptop running Windows 98SE.
The Desktop is dorectly connected to the Router via Ethernet Cable and the laptop uses the wireless card.
Both computers have access to the internet. Both claim to be connected to the network.
I can Ping the laptop and the router from the desktop but canbnot ping the desktop or the routewr from the laptop. When I attempt to ping it says request timed out - When I ttried nbtstat -a and the IP - it says Hosto not found
I have tried...
Establishing identical user names and passwords
enabled Netbios
made sure that workgroup name was the same
disabled Windows Firewall, PC Cillin and Microsoft antispy
Nothing changes neither computer appears on the other
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I had the network up and running awhile ago when both macjhines were running 98....
I have read multiple articles and posts and most claim the user/password or the firewall as an issue but that did not solve my problem.
Thanks!
