Hello All,
I have two Linux machines (RH 7.2) and two Windows machines (W98) sharing a
DSL connection through a hub. Each of these machines get a real IP address
from my ISP via DHCP. File sharing between these wired machines is working
OK.
I have just added a Linksys WRT54G to the hub and would like to have my
wireless machine share files with the existing 4 machines connected to the
hub. So far I have been unsuccessful in finding out where my problem lies.
The wireless machine (Windows XP) is connected to the internet and shares
the same workgroup name as the other machines. I have added the IP address
of the WRT54G (also received from my ISP via DHCP) to the firewall settings
of each machine to allow file sharing access. Yet it does not work. I only
see the wireless machine itself in the network places on the wireless
machine, and the wireless machine does not show up on any of the wired
machines.
I know it is not the networking configuration, because if I substitute a
cable in place of the wireless it works as expected.
Other than enabling WEP, the WRT54G is running on default settings. Any and
all comments and suggestions are most welcome!
