I've connected a wired PC and a wireless laptop according
to the wizard and enabled sharing (both running XP) and
both are in the same workgroup according to the setup
wizard. Both successfully see the internet, but they
don't see each other. It appears the wired network and
wireless network aren't talking. Any help/suggestions?

Thanks!

You're not running any third-party firewalls are you? You need to watch
Symantec (Norton) programs and ZoneAlarm. They'll hide LAN machines from
each other unless you specifically program them to allow the traffic.

I am using ZoneAlarm. I'll try shutting it off.

Thanks!

"Shutting it off" doesn't always work, Keith. If you "exit" from the
toolbar icon, that's just exiting the icon itself, not turning the program
off completely. Try setting up ZA to allow the LAN traffic.
