Access other conputer on network
Hi, I recently contact my ISP following Internet intermittent disconnection.
They come and changed the Modem which now has a router in it. Prior set-up was an older generation of Modem and I had added a Dlink router when I purchased a laptop and wanted to access shared folder via the network. On the network & sharing windo I see both computer when when I try to access one another I received a message that they cannont communicate and when diagnose=network path not found:pinged but no response. I search over (remembering having difficulties at my first set-up) but could'nt find what settings to change. When I run the Network Wizard I fall on a step saying window cannot automatically configure and then the new modem/router configuration page (192.168.2.1) opens but I d'ont know where to go from there... I consulted network set-up article without success... Window firewall is on and McAffee Firewall is off. Can anyone guide me? Thanks. Jerry |

Hi
If the new modem is a Modem/Router do not use a second Router. Do not use any Wizard, use the web menu (using the browser) of the new Router to manually configure it to your liking. Search the web for a manual for the new Modem/Router, and follow its instructions. If the new Modem/Router is Not Wireless and you want to add Wireless, then use a second Wireless Router and configure it like this.
