How do i access the home network if i am on the home wifi?

by seider . Updated 15 years, 2 months ago

This morning everything was fine but then something happened with the printer and now my laptop is all out of whack. I used to be connected to my home network where I could access all the computers on the network and my Western Digital World Book Edition II hard drive. I don’t know how, but now i am off the network. I am still connected to the WiFi that is available in the house but I can’ t do anything else. I can’t look at other computers, print or look at the WD hard drive. I have tried everything to get myself back onto the network but no luck.

I am using the following:
– IBM ThinkPad X41 Tablet running Windows XP
– Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router (Model number – WRT300N v1.1)
– Canon PIXMA MX870
– Western Digital myBook World Edition II (2TB)

UPDATE:

I am now connected to a network but not one that I want to be on. Before all of this happened, I could see and access all computers, printers and hard drives in the house. The network I seem to be on now is my computer and another laptop in the house which was never hooked up to any network.

PLEASE HELP!

THANK YOU!
