ME can't connect to other computers
Hi,
I'm working on a network that has the following: Desktop 1 -Win98 with two shared printers Desktop 2 - WinXP Pro Desktop 3 - Win 2000 Pro Laptop - dual-boot Win 2000 Pro / Win ME Wireless router with two additional access points All machines are connected to the network with wireless NICs. I've checked that all machines are members of the same workgroup, and all have unique computer names. File and Printer sharing is enabled, as well as TCP/IP. Here's the problem: All machines can print to the printers on the 98 box, with the exception of the ME partition of the laptop. On the ME partition, I can ping the router and the access points, and can also access the Internet through the router. I can't, however, ping any of the other computers on the network. Everything works perfectly on the 2000 side of the same laptop, eliminating a faulty NIC as the cause. Other computers can see the ME partition as a member of the workgroup, but cannot access them; i.e., the computer shows up in the network browser, but I can't access anything on that partition. Despite this, none of the other machines can ping the ME partition. In the network settings, he also has an AOL Adapter and a T-Online adapter, which he uses when he brings the laptop home. Does anyone have insight as to why this laptop won't access the other machines, despite being able to reach the router and the WAPs? The main objective is to be able to print to the devices attached to the 98 box. Thanks, Mike |
