Hi, I have just bought a Netgear DG834GT 108MBPS
wireless router which came with a USB2 wireless
adapter. I have set up the internet with it fine
and I now have a computer sharing the internet
wirelessley from the router and one conected directly
to the router by an ethernet cable. I cannot
work out how to transfer files between the two
computers using the wireless network. or how to
share a printer that is connected to the computer
that is connected to the router via ethernet. Any
help on this would be appreciated. There just
dowsn't seem to be an option to do this on
windows. Both computers are running on Win XP Pro
SP2. Please Pleae help me!!!!!

Treat your wireless network as if it was a wired
one! On the wireless client, add a printer from
the Printers & Faxes window (in Control Panel)
and for file sharing make sure you have Microsoft
File and Printer Sharing enabled on the wireless
clients' connection (My Network Places > Properties)
- be sure to implement a method of security
otherwise anyone within your wireless network range
can gain access to your files. From the run box
(Start...) type \\computer_name or \\ip_address and see
if anything comes up (it may take a while).
Can the wireless client and 'normal' computer ping
each other?
Give me more details and I'll give you more
options! Good Luck! |

| I agreee with u . since it doesn't affect
priting job for wireless computer. It is very easy
to take printout as well share printer through
Control Panel and Printer. or For network Setup and
check option as share printer ____________________

hi zetti and everybody else
I have the same problem as fullertonlodge, though I
have a D-Link router and WLAN card not
netgear..
Internet connection works fine on both computers
(running xp pro) through the router.. file and
printer sharing is enabled, and from the wired
computer I actually see the wireless computer in
the workgroup but cannot access it, and the
computers cannot ping each others.. both of them
are assigned to the workgroup 'WORKGROUP'
both computers have firewalls which I have tried
disabling but with the same result =\
please, I need urgent advice!! |
