Home XP Networkin Issues
I am having troubles setting up a home network. I am using a Linksys router.
Both my computer and laptop connect to the router and run Wndows XP. I ran the network wizard and tried to get these computers on the same network and it didn't work. I can get to the internet on the computer, but I was always able to get on the internet before, but I can't get on the internet with my laptop. I also can't see the computers on the network. I checked and made sure that they are on the same workgroup and they are. I think there might be some things with the IP addresses that might have to be changed, but I am familiar on how to change these to get them on the same network, here are my setting for both. Please tell how to change the necessary information, so I can have a network. Desktop: 1394 Connection -Use the following Connection w/ IP: 169.254.21.101 and Subnet:255.255.0.0 Local Area Connection -Obtain an IP address automatically IPCONFIG -IP:192.168.1.100, Subnet:255.255.255.0, and Default Gateway:192.168.1.1 Laptop: 1394 Connection --Obtain an IP address automatically Local Area Connection -Obtain an IP address automatically IPCONFIG -Autoconfiguration IP: 169.254.132.139 and Subnet:255.255.0.0 Please Help!!! |

It looks like you have set up the Local Area Connection on both machines
correctly as they are looking for an IP from the router. I'm not sure where you have gotten the IPCONFIG details from but they seem to show your problem. Your router's IP address is 192.168.1.1 and your main PC has been assigned an IP in the same sub net (192.168.1.100). However your laptop seems to have a complelty diffferent address for it's IPCONFIG settings. It almost looks as if this is being populated by the 1394 instead of the LAN. I would recomend either specifiying an IP similar to that of your main PC for the 1394 connection (eg. IP:169.254.21.101) or disabling the connection. Hopefully this will cause the IPCONFIG to be populated by the DHCP on the router via the LAN connection. "Sarah" wrote: I am having troubles setting up a home network. I am using a Linksys router.

Home XP Networkin Issues
Oliver,
I am having somewhat similiar issues. 2 pc's one desktop the other wireless laptop. Have a Motorola modem/router gateway unit. Both connect to internet, both in same workgroup on network. Desktop can see laptop on network, but can not get into it at all. Laptop can't see the dektop from it's connection. I have shared and shared....it's some stupid setting somewhere. Any ideas to check? "Oliver" wrote: It looks like you have set up the Local Area Connection on both machines correctly as they are looking for an IP from the router.

The only two things I can think of is because of a third party firewall like
Norton Internet security or becasue you have not installed and set up file sharing. If you are using different operating this can complicate things. Windows 2000 seems to require you to log on as one of the user accounts. File sharing in windows has never been all that great. The best way to connect is by typing '\\computername' in an explorer window. Hope this is of some help.

Oh, I should also mention that the PC's should be in the same sub net (ie the
first three parts of the ip address are the same). However if you are allowing the router to hand out ip addresses (DHCP) this should be the case anyway "David" wrote: Oliver, I am having somewhat similiar issues. 2 pc's one desktop the other wireless laptop.
