hi all,
please excuse me in advance, but the problems I am experiencing appear(to me) very basic. I have a desktop (XP pro) and a laptop (Vista ultimate) and am trying to wirelessly network them with a belkin G router. My physical layout is as follows: internet comes in via broadband cable(virgin) modem then through the router to the RJ45 conn at the rear of my desktop.(note:I also have a USB dongle connected, as I was instructed to do so). The laptop has an internal wireless card. On the XP machine network conns. window I have a wireless network connection showing. On the Vista machine in the network and sharing -my XP is not visible (net discovery is on). I have downloaded the LLTD patch on my Xp. I can ping the router from each machine, but cannot ping machine to machine. Firewalls on XP, Vista and router are all switched off. I can access the internet from both machines. My router DHCP client list shows both computers. This post may seem a bit long winded but I did want to include as much information as possible. This is probably due to me doing/not doing something very basic. (File/Printer sharing is my final goal) -- many thanks, alant

If you can't ping each by IP, I would double check any security software.
