Several hours with Linksys which said the problem is with settings in
ME. I'm trying to network 2 computers thru a linksys befw11s4
wireless access point router.
PC1 & PC2 can access internet
PC2 can access router
PC1 can NOT access router. When it's pinged it times out.
PC1 can not find PC2 in it's network
PC2 can find PC1, however can not find path, can not access
I used wizard for both and set up file sharing
I'm at a dead end and believe the 2 issues are related. I could be
wrong!
PC1= Win ME, hardwired to router out to internet that works
PC2= Win XP MCE, wireless internet and access to router work.
I unpluged(nic) PC1 and and hardwired PC2 to router and it could
access both internet and the route. Which tells me it would be in the
setting some where in PC1.
This has worked in the past, but it has been a long time since I
tried to access the router from pc1. Since I just got a laptop I
wanted to network them.
Any thoughts?
