how to find other computers connected to the same router
I have 3 computers connected to a DSL router in my office.
All 3 computers are Dell Pentium 3. All 3 computers run Windows XP Prof. All 3 computers are connected to the Netgear MR814v2 router by Ethernet cables. All 3 computer's "My computer' has 'shared documents' folder and one hard drive folder 'Common' set to share. When I click My Network Place / Microsoft Network, I found this Network named HOMEBASE. But when I click this network, I can only see Desktop1. I do not see other 3 computers online. What do I need to do to connect to all other computers? |

how to find other computers connected to the same router
On each computer go to Network and Internet connections/Network connections.
Double click on the Local Area Connection and click the Properties button: 1. Click the Advanced tab - make sure the firewall is NOT enabled. 2. On the General tab, highlight TCP/IP and click properties. Click the Advanced button, click the WINS tab - make sure NetBIOS is enabled.

Yes, theXP firewall is designed to protect your computers - primarily from incoming connections from the Internet. Unfortunately, this firewall will also block communications with your internal network computers. The good news is that your router probably includes a firewall which is just as good as the one in XP. If so, you don't need the XP firewall. If you want to run a firewall on you network computers, use a third party product which can be easily configured to allow internal network communication with specific computers.

Doug,
I check the Netgear Netgear MR814v2 router set up. The only firewall setting is: WAN Setup [x] connect automatically [ ] disable SPI Firewall. Is this what you are talking about?

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. -- Best of luck! Michael D. Alligood MCSA, MCP, CCNA, A+, Network+, i-Net+, CIW A, CIW CI "AG Young" wrote in message ...

In the Local Area Connection properities, you should see a box that states,
