Cannot access computer connected via wireless

[danzig]

Hello and thanks in advance for your atention, here's the problem I'm having:

I manage a small XP LAN that runs with static IP adressess and recently we bought a Linksys Wireless Router that let us connect the laptops via wireless.

The problem comes when trying to access the shared folders on the laptop, I can see the wired computers from the wireless one, but not the other way (For example I can't see the shared folder on the wireless computer from a cabled PC).

The wireless Router uses a specific IP, and the computers connected trought this device also recieve an static IP (192.168.0.xxx), but I haven't been able to access this computers using those IP's, no answer recieved from the pings and the computers don't show on my network places.

And that's basically the problem, I know its not a Firewall problem but that's it, if anyone could give me a help I will be most grateful, I've been looking for a solutions with no results and frankly I don't know what else to do, again thanks a lot for your time and attention.

Let's see this from one of the invisible laptops and one of the machines that can't see it.


Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands, one at a time, followed by the Enter key:

Note that there is a space before the -n or the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the - or / in the following commands.

NBTSTAT -n

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter to copy the contents to the clipboard.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

I think that's all, hope it helps.

No surprise here, they're on totally separate networks. Of course, obfuscating the addresses makes it impossible to give you more details, but that's the basic issue.
