I am running windows XP home on 2 computers. Right now I
have my cable modem hooked up to a hub near my television
so that I can connect my Replay TV to the internet. Also
on the hub is a netgear 802.11 wireless access point. on
each of my computers I have a netgear wireless network
adapter. Each of the computers is able to connect to the
internet without a problem, but I can't connect them to
each other or share files or the printer. the ip
addresses are assigned by DHCP and are 192.168.0.2 and
192.168.0.3 and both are on the same subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. when i run the network setup wizard on
the 192.168.0.2 computer it works fine, but when i try to
run it on the other one during the last step it tells me
that there was an error and says to configure my network
manually. i selected the same things that i did for the
other computer (that my computer connects to the internet
though a hub and so do the others, wireless network, gave
the computers different names, used the same network
name) but on one it works and the other it doesn't. i
have disabled the xp firewalls on both computers and have
enalbed netbios over tcp/ip on both computers. each
computer is able to ping itself, but not the other one,
and neither shows up in the others network places. I am
really at a loss and extremely frustrated. I checked out
all the help on Steve Winograd's page and have been
unable to find a solution. Any help would be appreciated.
