Workgroup PCs won't talk throu a router
A new router stopped workgroup networking. My 4-port wired Dynamode is fine and uses 10.0.0... addresses. I fitted a Netgear with 192.168.0... addresses and although the teo PCs see the internet and the workgroup printer they don't see each other, so workgroup comms doesn't work. The router admin tool sees the PCs and reports the IP adresses and workgroup names but its ping tool cant find the PCs (Wierd!?) Everyone says Firewall! but as it's all on DNS I think that's daft. The firewall stops internet intrusions doesn't it? I've looked at every tab and setting on the firewall and nothing mentions it'll communicate with a 10.0.0 network and not a 192.168.0 network. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 in both cases. The NICs on both PCs report sensible IPs with both routers. I can swap the Dynamode back in and up it all comes no probs. Netgear don't have much to say. -- Regards Stephen Ford |
