Can't access computer on home network through ip address
I have set-up a home network with Vista and connected all computers through a
linksys router. File sharing and folder access works, but I can't access the computer within the network through their ip address. I enabled the telnet server and client on all computer and I am also not able to open a telnet session using the ip address. What am I doing wrong any idea?

Can't access computer on home network through ip address
Can you ping each other by IP? By default, you should be able to ping if you
have enabled file sharing. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "holger" wrote in message news  I have set-up a home network with Vista and connected all computers through a linksys router.

Can't access computer on home network through ip address
Thanks that helped a lot. The program I am using needed a specific port and
this was not open on the host and remote computer. I added the port in the windows firewall and now everything is working fine. Thanks for the suggestion - it helped me to rule out one problem.
