I’m trying to setup network for 5 computers to share files and printers. I have 2 computers running Windows XP home edition SP2 (didn’t even get to connect other 2 running Win 2000 and Win Me). Both computers have wireless D-Link network cards (original cards are disabled), wireless modem D-Link. I set up wireless network with 2 computers, so they both can go to internet independatly, and internet works fine for both computers. I set up Workgroup, and unic names for both computers (running network setup wizard), but they can’t see each other. On one of the computers (which I set up first) I can see icons for both computers, but when I try to access comp.2 from comp.1 the message is “comp.2 is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact administrator…” Both computers have windows firewall off, and McAfee disabled. I tried to change wireless router, and got the same message on Linksys router. On the comp.2 I can’t even see icon of the comp.1 – when I click on “veiw workgroup computers”, the message is: “network is not accessable. You might not have permission to use this resource. Network path was not found”. On this comp I can’t even see the other computer icon. I am able to ping router, but I can’t ping comp.2 from comp.1 or comp.1 from com.2. Is there any alternative configuration. I thought after first attempt, that there is a problem with router, but I have exactly the same picture with a new router. Also, I didn’t want to use one of the computers as host, so all of them can access internet directly through router.
