JaSSon Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Hey PC guys, I need help. I've tried, mike has tried, now you try. The 3 of us are connected to a wireless router. Mike and Adam can see each others computers on the network, and apparently mike can see mine, but not access shared folders. Meanwhile, I can't see any computers on the network. We're all using MSHOME. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Make sure the drives are set to share. Make sure all have installed file and printer sharing for microsoft networks and client for microsoft networks (they're in connections properties. Turn the windows firewall off (it's in the advanced tab of connection properties). Make sure your ip address has correct ip's from the router. If need to then do a repair and make sure you got the ip from dhcp (if using dhcp) and it's not a windows assigned one. Then if nothing. Turn off and restart all.

JaSSon Posted October 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Alex, done, done, done. I guess I should have been more specific in my origional post. *sigh* Windows firewall doesn't like to stay off. But I still can't see a damn thing.

Alex1647545498 Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 can you ping the other computers? Are the other computers' names different from yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veritas Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 ha. i was going to say try that or install a protocol for everyone else to see each other if all else fails(sometimes that works too, buggy windowsxp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 we got it worked out. Turns out (besides windows firewall randomly turning on) Zone Alarm was going all gustapo on my connection. I still don't know why that wouldn't allow me to see out tho.
