When i ping my laptop: Ip address 10.0.0.7, it comes back packets
sent =4, received=0, lost-4 (100% lost). The computer I pinged frpm IP
Address is as follows: 10.0.0.6

same result when i ping desktop from laptop.

Can you ping each other IP addresses? Posting the results of ipconfig
/all
here may help.

I have a desktop with printer installed on it. Prints fine when
connected
through desktop. I want to use this printer wirelessly through my
NetGear
wireless router. When i go to add the printer, the wizard does not find
the
network. Any ideas on how to get me started and what i need to look for
to
make the Desktop visible to the wireless laptop to print.

I had this connected once before, but lost my connection and ability to
see
it when I changed from a Linksys router (G) to a Netgear router(N).

Both computers are running Windows Xp. I also have 2 other laptops that
run
Vista. Would like to be able to print from those also.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
