Why do you need the sweex? Since you have only two wired
computers, the system would work fine with the MN500, and
that would avoid having to make both routers work together.
Otherwise, check if it works this way with both the sweex
and MN500. On the LAN screen of the MN500, you have IP
192.168.2.2. DHCP is disabled. On the WAN screen you are
using Static with IP 192.168.2.2. Under security/firewall
the firewall is disabled.
Once you turn on your laptop, the DHCP server (gateway) and
DNS for the laptop should be 192.168.2.1. You can check
this by running ipconfig from a Command Prompt.
The sweex is not handing over a 192.168.2.2 IP through DHCP
(that would cause a conflict with the MN500) -- on the
MN500 there is a setting to change the DHCP start range to
avoid this, but I don't know how you set it on the sweex
At this point the MN500 should act as a switch and you
should be able to reach the computers. NetBIOS refreshes
can take a while sometimes (up to 12mn on some systems).
You may need to force a refresh using ipconfig /release and
ipconfig /renew. If you run MBNU, it should do it and list
all the computers, and you should be able to click on the
computer icon to open its shares (probably you'll be
prompted then for username/password)
