Hi all,
I currently have a router and hub working fine at home with all machines (2 XP machines and 1 Win98 machine). But now I'm trying to switch to the Linksys wireless router with 4 port switch so that I can hook up another XP machine which is on another floor via wireless. The 3 orginal computers I want to keep connected via the ethernet ports in the back of the wireless router.
The problem is, I can't get file sharing and internet access working on the computers with the router (I ahven't even tried to get the remote computer up; I'm still trying to get the wired computers connected). I spent a while with Linksys tech support, but the guy was clueless. He blamed my problems on XP and hung up. I was able to ping websites, and I even get AOL instant messenger working, but I couldn't use the internet or share files. I tried the ipconfig /release and /renew thing, and also tried slowing the access down to 10Mbps from 100Mbps. Still won't work.
Has anyone encountered this problem and found a way to fix it?
I'm a newbie, so please bear with me!
Thanks in advance for any advice.
