Network issues

helplauren · 05-19-2009, 10:02 PM

I have a client who has a Linksys 'N' router with both wireless and wired settings. They have 4 computers connected to the router and can all share the Internet perfectly well. The computers are mostly running various versions of XP and have different levels of virus scans and firewalls. The network is 'MSHOME'. The ip address is 192.168.1.1 and all users have ip addresses running from .100 to .109 with most computers connected both wirelessly and wired.

I've just added a VISTA Home computer to the network. For some reason I can ping the vista computer, I can see it but i can't access it. I've turned off all Firewalls, all Virus protection, all password protection, I've enabled the sharing of the documents and the printers without any requirements.

I don't understand why I can't access the resorces... does anyone have any ideas?
All computers are updated and the firmware on the router is the most updated. I chatted with Linksys and they said it should work.

Thanks
Lauren

Check your processes to verify that none of the security software programs are still running. This is the common cause even after you disable them.
