HELP!
For the life of me I can not get my PC's communicating with one another. I have 3 wireless PC with a 192.168.20.x IP address and one hard wired PC at 192.168.10.x and none of them can see each other. I have tried bridging, not bridging, setting up routes between networks and nothing I do will allow the PCs to talk. The firewall between members is diabled, non IP traffic is enabled. Can somebody please just walk me through setting up the Wireless to Wireless and Wireless to LAN. Thanks, Capt Woody |

Others will probably have more information.
Check that all of the computers are set to the be in the same "Workgroup". To make it simpler, they should also be on the same IP address range and subnet mask. You may have to activate netbios on them as well though this is usally on by default. If you have Vista installed, you should turn off IPv-6 as it is not being used on your network. |

Always apply the KISS principle.
Could very well be a firewall issue on the local PCs (not a z100 issue). Get a crossover ethernet cable. Under the TCP/IP settings set PC 1 to 192.168.10.11 / 24 (255.255.255.0) set PC 2 to 192.168.10.12 / 24 (255.255.255.0) On PC#1 get a command prompt > ping -t 192.168.10.12 If you don't get a ping then it's a firewall (windows/norton/trend/mcaffee) that could be blocking it. Once the pings are working then try to connect the wireless. (Unplug the ethernet first). |

FYI: I say it could be a local firewall problem because I recently had a problem with a friend trying to do the same thing. We had the Windows XP firewall disabled. We had his Norton Firewall disabled. Not using a router but a pure switch. Still couldn't connect the PC's together.
Turned out he had a Charter Cable firewall loaded also that was not apparent. Once we disabled that - we connected fine. We then turned on the other firewalls with the right parameters and it was fine. But we would have to leave the Charter Cable firewall disabled. It was a bear to figure out. So try the wired stuff first and then move to the wireless. |
