Network access through switch
PC and laptop run Vista Ultimate. Printer is hooked up to PC's parallel
port. Network is Laptop - wireless hub - switch - PC. I can't print or share files, even with firewalls turned off. How do you get the network to see beyond the switch? If I connect the PC to the wireless hub via an ethernet cable, everything works fine.

Check to make sure that your "wireless hub" isn't actually a wireless
router. If it is, the switch should be plugged into the LAN side of the wireless, with the WAN port going to the Internet connection. "beckham" wrote in message ... PC and laptop run Vista Ultimate.

Michael,
It is indeed a switch - Belkin 5-port Gigabit Switch F5D5141-5. I have shared all files (everything) on both computers. Each computer proclaims: You do not have permission..." "Michael A.

Yes, but I asked about your "wireless hub" -- the switch is a switch, that's
fine. Most consumer wireless access points are also routers. But getting permission-denied errors is different from not being able to reach the other computers. What feedback do you get if you click Diagnose from the error dialog? Do you have a third-party firewall installed? Many of those restrict their open ports to machines in the same subnet, which would bring us back to the question of whether your AP is a router. In order to enable sharing in that scenario, you would either need to put all machines in the same subnet, or configure your firewalls to trust both internal subnets. "beckham" wrote in message ...
