I’m trying to setup my previously working home network using a new wireless router.
Router 1 – SMC (2804wbrp-g) It has 4 ethernet ports on the back and one uplink (DSL Modem)
Router 2 – DLink (DI-604) 5 ethernet ports and one uplink port
Computer 1 – Windows XP Home SP2
Computer 2 – Windows XP Pro SP2
Computer 3 – Windows XP Pro SP1
Laptop 1 – Windows XP Home SP2
Computer 1 and Laptop 1 are on the SMC router. They both have internet access, but Laptop 1 can’t see Computer 1 or itself. Computer 1 is able to see laptop 1, but gets “not accessible, you may not have permissions for this network resource”. The SMC Router provides the DHCP for the network. It uses 192.168.2.## vs the 192.168.0.## that I’m accustomed to.
Computer 2 and Computer 3 are connected to the
DLink router. (all functions on the DLink have been disabled, making it a plain old hub). This hub will be connected to the SMC shortly, b ut I don’t forsee any problem there.
What I’d like to know is the best way to setup this mixed network so that File Sharing and Internet Connection Sharing will work for them all.
Thanks.
