| For my home network I have the cable modem hooked to Netgear wireless router. For a few years I have just used wireless laptops and wireless network. Now I want to use old PC with big hard drive plugged directly into router for pseudo server to store data available to all users. Cannot for the life of me get it on the network. My wireless network was setup using Vista and took USB to other machines. So the laptops are Vista, Windows 7, and XP. The wired PC is also XP. Help? Thanks. |

| Since this is a peer to peer network, all computers must be assigned to the same workgroup name (such as "workgroup", MyHome, etc.). Additionally, file and print sharing will need to be enabled along with enabling "share" on the designated folders that you want to share across the network. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf MacBook Pro 15" (Intel i5 2.40GHz), Gateway 15.4" Laptop, Windows Vista Ultimate , Photoshop CS5 |

| [QUOTE]Originally Posted by Jedi Master: Is this wired PC able to connect to the internet? [/QUOTE] The PC is wired via ethernet CAt5 cable to the router. So, yes it does have access. Problem is trying to get the wired PC to show up on the network with the other wireless computers. |

| There are a couple of possibilities. First, again as noted above, the wired PC has a different workgroup name than the other computers, that will prevent it from being showing up, and from "seeing" the other computers. Next, if the wired PC has a third party firewall, that could be preventing it from showing up. Can you provide a list of software that's on this PC? Also, did you try running the network setup wizard? ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf MacBook Pro 15" (Intel i5 2.40GHz), Gateway 15.4" Laptop, Windows Vista Ultimate , Photoshop CS5 |

When I run network setup nothing happens, it completes with no results. If I run wireless setup it says no wireless adapter naturally. All computers running Norton v.4. |
