Hello, I am currently having trouble setting up a home wired/wireless hybrid
network and no-one seems able to help me. I have limited networking
experience so if anyone can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. In
my house currently I have 3 PC's (one with XP pro and other with XP home Ed),
2 with wireless network cards connected to a Belkin wireless router/modem and
eachother, and another (with XP home Edition) with a wired connection to the
router/modem. My problem is that I am currently trying to study for the
Microsoft XP professional Exam and want to set up a home network so I can do
this. My router/modem recognises all 3 PC's and assigns them a fixed or
dynamic IP address, but I don't seem able to connect from my wired PC (which
I use the most) to the other 2 wireless PC's in the house, eventhough they
can connect to eachother through a ad-hoc network connection. I seem to able
to ping the wireless PC's from my wired PC and recieve a response but unable
to connect using telnet or ftp, as the connection is always refused. I guess
my question is, how can I set up a network so I can access the other wireless
PC's from my wired PC to enable sending messages, file transfer, remote
assistance etc. Do I have to get XP professional installed on my wired PC to
be able to do this?? If I haven't explained myself well, I will answer any
questions. Cheers.
