Setup a wireless workgroup
 

I have a desktop wired to a wireless router, i aslo have two desktops with
wireless NIC's and two laptops with wireless cards. I have gone through the
wizard multiple times and have had no luck. The only time I can even see the
other computers is when i set it up as a wired network. If anyone could help
me I would appreciate it.

Are you able to get to the Internet with your wireless connections? If
not, you haven't set up the wireless correctly. Post back with more
details such as the make/model of your router and what you've already
tried.

Yes all of the computers that I want to be in the workgroup have been able to use the internet for several months. The router is a Netgear WGR614. I have been through the wireless setup wizard several times but i haven't been able to even see the other computers on the network. Also I won't be around until monday i am going out of town but i will definetly want to work this out as soon as i get back next week.

Thanks for your help.
