Default how to find other computers connected to the same router

OK. I will try to talk my boss into getting a Linksys.
But I kind of doubt it because we just got whole bunch of Netgear stuff this
month.

Can you please tell me how to install "File and Printer" sharing - install
which -
Client or Protocol or Service? I could not use the XP CD disc for install?

Thank you again.

Without seeing this for myself AG, I am out of option now. I will tell you
this, after setting up wireless networks for a while now, I have formed an
opinion about Netgear routers -- I do not like them. I have had similar
problems with them in the past, including not allowing MS updates to come
in -- and this was from a factory router out of the box. Since then I have
always used Linksys. If you have the resources, I would give them a shot.
Sorry I could not solve the issue for you. I would love to see what

happens
if you change the router. Please keep me posted on this.

All three computers are connected to the Netgear MR814v2 router by

Ethernet
cables. All 3 computers are connected to DSL and access internet fine.

Okay, lets back up here a moment. Run ipconfig on all the computer and

post
me the results.

Have you tried looking in the Event Viewer on any of your
computers
to
see
if an error id has been generated?

In the Local Area Connection properities, you should

see
a
box
that
states,
"This connection uses the following items..." You

should
see
"File
and
Print
Sharing for Microsoft Networks" checked.

Sorry, I know you addressed Doug but I have a
question
about
your
router.
An
MR814v2 is a wireless router. I see that your
connected
via
ethernet
cables,
is that correct? Also, you might want to try

and
reset
the
router.
There
should be a very small reset button on the

back.
