Hi

i just got a laptop and wifi AP, the AP has been attached to my existing network. but now i have 2 subnets

1: 192.168.0.0 Wired - Allied Telesyn AT-AR256E
2: 192.168.1.0 Wifi - Linksys WRT54G2

i can ping from 2 to 1 but not 1 to 2, also if i try using a command like \\mypc\c$ it wont resolve the name and will only work with \\192.168.0.52\c$ for example.

network 1 has the internet connection on it.

the strange problem i have found is that i cant access download.microsoft.com or anything such as automatic updates.

anyone know what might be the cause?

cheers

What wifi ap?

What laptop?

What PC?

192.168.0.0 is an IP Address, 255.0.0.0 is a subnet.

192.168.0.0 is the network address
255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask.

the laptop is a ASUS X50RL, the AP is a Linksys WRT54G2.

yeah checked the firewall settings and there doesnt seem to be any issues there.

it might have something to do with the WAN port on the linksys AP that is connected to the switch on my AT ADSL router.

has to be 192.168.1.*** for the laptop and the PC to communicate, I suggest you ensure that both computer have the same workgroup name and run the network setup wizard on the laptop.

hi
the IP is obtained from DHCP on the Wifi router
192.168.1.100

is required, please explain how the network is setup and the devices.

Where does 1: 192.168.0.0 Wired - Allied Telesyn AT-AR256E come from?

Is this a wireless card in the PC?
