I have a DLink DIR-655 router with the latest firmware that is about a month old. I have 2 wired connections to PC's and one new Hypersonic laptop that has built in N wireless card. None of the 3 computers have a problem with getting to the internet, and I can share files between them with no problem. The problem is we like to play 3 way games across the LAN. Any game we try (Age of Empires 3, Far Cry, etc.) with a wireless connection, we cannot see the other computers to join the game. If I plug in the wired connection, it works fine. I stop both my firewall and virus protection, too. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Well I would go for getting the latest wifi drivers for the notebook. As for why it doesn't work welcome to draft n customer product testing. Try setting the router to g mode and see if works. If that works your def another victim of a standard that isn't ready. If you firewall is off there is no reason you guys can't play on a lan.
