There was a recent posting and reply that was very helpful to Mike
Parmley and, since my problem is extremely similar, I'm hoping someone
can spare a moment and help me too. Essentially
I have the same problem but with a bit of a twist - I have a wireless
cable modem/router (Linksys WCG200) and right now the "Cable" part is
not working - a known problem with COMCAST, I'm afraid. In the meantime,
I'm simply trying to get a network working. and it partly is. I have
one PC connected to the Linksys via Ethernet and the other via the
wireless route. Both PCs can see the router/modem. In fact, if I leave
off the dial-up internet connection, I can run the browser based utility
program in the Linksys from either machine. BUT, each machine can only
see itself when I look at network connections, just like Mike. I've
tried the submask settings and they don't help -- also have the router's
encryption capability turned off. The firewalls (all) are OFF. One
other possible difference is that my PCs are running XP Home edition,
which I assume doesn't matter (but the user IDs are slightly different,
if it does).
The IP addresses are:
PC 1 192.168.0.10
PC 2 192.168.0.99
Router 192.168.0.1
Subnet masks on the PCs are 255.255.255.0
Each PC can successfully ping the other!
Any help would be appreciated.
