I run a home network (p2p) with two desktop (Vista Home Premium) computers, a
wifi connected laptop, a network printer and the network drive (above). All
computers and other network devices have DHCP enabled. My router (D-Link DIR
615) handles the DHCP, but anchors the IP numbers to the MAC table entries of
the networked devices.
Now the problem: I can see the LinkStation hard drive on the Network
explorer of one of my computers, but not the other. I have tried to find out
what is different in the network setup between the two laptops. I have opened
up the software firewall, none of which has made a difference. I can ping the
Linkstation with both the IP number and the Netbios name (LMHosts), but I
can't see it in the explorer on one of the two machines. Any suggestions?
