Default connection to networked computers

my wireless is showing up local and internet, network discovery is on and in
private zone. when i plug in the network cable i have no issues and
everything works fine but i use it wirelessly. when i connect to the network
wirelessly i can get internet fine but i cannot see or connect to the other
computers on my network. i have 2 computers running vista, one computer
running xp pro and a lan network drive. this is driving me crazy!

Default connection to networked computers

tried this already, i think it might have something to do with the router and
how it connects its wired section to its wireless section. i cannot connect
to the routers ip of 192.168.2.1 wirelessly, but can connect to it when
wired. mmm got me thinking.

Default connection to networked computers

it was the router!!!!! it had two wpa-psk keys. one gave me full access and
the other was guest access, which allows internet access only. i was using
the guest access key and not the full access key. punched in the new key
everything worked straight away.
thanks for your input though.

cheers steve
