[SOLVED] One computer doesnt see the rest because of spllitter.

jbaev · 07-24-2008, 01:45 PM

When I bought a new PC I decided to use my old router as a splliter, and everything worked exept that I cannot see anybody on my network. I can see my network printer and my network Hard drive and all the other computers can see each other but not this one. I am running Vista home premium and so are all the other computers.

to the person who helps me.

Sounds like you left DHCP activated on your Router/now splitter,Turn it off. if you have allready done so then Post the results from " ipconfig /all"

Are you using the same Work Group name ? Ms changed the default name in Vista, Xp used MsHome.
