ok guys, im computer savvy but since i got into win 7, its been REAL.

my problem;

Computer #1 - Windows 7, Wireless-G Broadband Router

Computer #2 - Windows XP, Wireless-G USB Network Adapter

puter #2 is where ill be running one of my cb radio through to be heard online

im having a hard time connecting these two puters on my network, after i get that to work, then ill try to run my radio online

Dj just guessing your router is a wired/wireless...?
try hooking them with ethernet first, get the bugs out, then turn around and try wireless on the one you most expect to be used away from your router.


If you're already running both on the network as a wireless then explain more detail on the issue you're having??????

wireless

wierd thing is a couple of weeks ago i hard wired the two puters together and was able to share files between the two, and now im trying to run the wireless setup and getting no where accept i can surf the net between the two

Looks like a good writeup - got it working?

DJ, make sure both PC's are in the same workgroup. And don't turn on Homegroup in WIN7.

k, dj I've got some thoughts but..fill in some blanks


192.168.1.108 is the ip address for 'titanic-02'
is that the XP machine?

the other machine is 'titanic-01'
is that the win7 machine?
what is its ip address [the 192.168.1.xxx other number]

are both machines in wireless mode [not connected by ethernet to the router]

can you temporarily run ethernet from each to the router?

what comes up under http://192.168.1.1
does your router have an admin webgui
does your internet security incllude firewall? mine does and that means i need to bring my local network into my config

@@@@@@@

I suspect settings on your win7 firewall which you can check by temporarily turning the won7 firewall off, but that's not a viable long term solution

check those then lets see if dkmac has thoughts since he has win7




Lets see

[djrebel]

well i finally got my network to work, at i can get stuff off pc2 on to pc1...Dj
