networking problem
Hi All,
I am using windows xp home sr2. I am having a problem networking my computers. I have a dsl modem/router. My main computer is connected with an ethernet card. My laptop and my wife's computer are wireless. When I try to ping the laptop I get a timed out message. I can ping from the laptop to the desktop. The laptop doesn't see the main computer and the desktop doesn't see the laptop. I used the network setup wizard and the wireless setup wizard on the respective machines. I have Mcafee personal firewall on each machine. I turned them off but, still with no luck. Can anyone help me get this figured out? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, -- Regards, Gary Metzler Outta Sight Travel, Inc. send to: http://www.outtasighttravel.com

networking problem
First, don't disable third-party firewalls; uninstall them. Disabling them
rarely works correctly. Second, find and use the Windows XP networking forums, since networking in WindowsMe works much differently than in Windows XP. -- Richard G.
