Linksys WRT54G Router OR XP problem??
Hello,
I purchased a Linksys WRT54G All-in-one Internet-sharing Router, 4-port Switch, and Wireless-G (802.11g) Access Point . I called customer support and asked for help from Linksys to configure my router for a my home network and found they don’t provide help in this area. I have a PC connected with a cat-5 cable & a laptop connected wireless to --> Linksys ROUTER which is connected to a [DSL MODEM] ----|| Internet. I am able to access the internet on both computers. But have no connectivity between computers. I used the windows xp network set up wizard, and selected computers connecting to the internet through a residential gateway, each computer has its own name, work group name is mshome for both, and file and printer sharing was turned on. In MY NETWORK PLACES it shows MSHOME but when I try to open it I get a Microsoft windows network error message stating mshome is not accessible. I tried to ping each computer from the other one and it timed out.
Laptop: ipconfig /all
DHCP is enabled yes
Autoconfiguration enabled yes
IP Address 192.168.1.101
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers 4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
4.2.2.6
Desktop: ipconfig /all
DHCP is enabled yes
Autoconfiguration enabled yes
IP Address 192.168.1.102
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers 4.2.2.4

What do I need to do to configure my router or computers to form a network?

Thank you,

Hello Karl,
the way you´d configured the network was okay. Try to press "start" and then " "run". From the laptop type in "\\192.168.1.102" to access the desktop pc and wise versa from the desktop "\\192.168.1.101" to access the laptop. Your Problem is that you try to connect via Netbios Protocol. Net Bios Protocol uses Port 139 to communicate. IYou have to tell the router, that the clients are allowed to connect with this port. For this to do you have to open browser and connect to the setup of the router. http://192.168.1.1 Standard password for Linksys router is "admin" (no user ). In Application and Gaming configure the clients 192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.102 to be able to use Port 139. Afterwards you should be able to connect.
