Computers not displayed in workgroups
I was running a home work group using a Linksys wireless
router (WRT45G). All computers either connected to the router with a cable or wireless were displayed it the work group. Recently I moved the wireless box and it is now wired to a Linksys router box (BEFSR41). The problem is now I can only see the computers connected to the same router box; I can not see computers hooked to the wired box form computer using the wireless box or vice versa. I can ping the various computers from the different boxes and can connect to the computer using PC Anywhere, so the are "talking" to each other just not displayed in the workgroup and I can not access the files and floppy drives from the computers hooked to the different boxes. I have verified NetBOIS over TCP/IUP is enabled on all the computers. I need to access the desk top connected to the wired box since my wireless laptop does not have a floppy drive. Any suggestions? |

You should have only one router on your network or you'll break it up into
pieces such as you have now. The router with the Internet connection should stay configured as a router, the other should be put into simple switch mode with router and DHCP functions turned off. Check the manual that came with your router for details. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Win9x] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.

Any suggestions? . Originally I had the network set up as you suggested. However the computers hooked to the downstream box (switch) could not access the internet. Linksys support told me to install them the way the are now. But I will retry. Thanks for the information. |

Make sure you are using the "uplink" port on the router to connect the
switch (or the router with DHCP and routing disabled) to connect to the main router. If neither the main router or the switch (second router) doesn't offer an uplink port you may need a crossover cable to connect them. -- Richard G.
