Hi,
I'm currently trying to set up my home network and need some advice.
The configuration I've got includes an Origo ASR8400 ADSL Router, a desktop
PC running Windows 2000 and a Laptop running Windows XP Home (connected to
the router through a W.A.P.)
The configuration is shown here http://tinyurl.com/3yyke
The desktop PC has been connected to the internet through the router for a
few months with no problems. A couple of days ago I added a Wireless access
point and the laptop - they can also connect to the internet with no
problems. It connected straight out of the box, without the need to
configure the WAP or the laptop.
The desktop obtains an IP address of 10.0.0.4 from the router.
The laptop obtains an IP address of 10.0.0.11 from the router throug the
WAP.
The WAP has an IP address of 192.168.0.50.
What I'm having trouble with is getting the two PCs to see each other
through the router. If I go into explorer on the desktop and click on My
Network Places, Computers Near Me, the laptop name is shown in the tree, but
clicking it produces the message "Not accessible - the laptop was not
found".
Under networking on the desktop PC (Windows 2000 Professional) I've enabled
Client for MS Networks, File and Printer sharing and TCPIP. I've obviously
missed something somewhere though. What else do I need to do?
Does the Origo router need to be configured?
Can anyone advise?
Thanks,
Shaun.
