OK...here's the deal. I have an existing workgroup, and added a router to it with a couple of computers behind it. Now, here's the problem. The computers behind the router cannot access the rest of the workgroup. I have a netgear MR314 router so I can take advantage of wireless networking.

Does anyone know why I can't see the rest of my workgroup?

Thanks in advance!!

Mike

The MR314 is intended for use with a broadband system. Consequently, it would be blocking all ports from the WAN side. You can change that from the router configuration interface.

A better solution might be to use a desktop with two NICs for your router. If you are using the router only to get the wireless capabilities, consider something that does only wireless.
