Hi everybody,
I have a small soho network consisting of a Netgear router, a PC using XP SP
3 (let's call it "XP PC"), and another PC ( let's call it "Vista PC)
equipped with Vista Ultimate (French version >>> sorry about my lousy
translations of what I see and read).
My configuration was very stable and my network was perfectly OK.
All of a sudden my Netgear router (DG834G) stopped working after 4 years of
good service. So I acquired another one (same model), installed it with no
difficulty, using the Netgeard set-up CD.
On both computers the Internet connection is OK. However, the network is
not working any more.
This is what I observe:
1/
On the "Vista PC", in Network and sharing center, if I click on "View full
map" I can see both computers, i.e. "Vista PC" and "XP PC" , and the router.
However, if I click on the link "View computers and devices", on the left of
the window, I can only see displayed the "Vista PC" and the Router.
Network discovery, File sharing, public folder sharing, and printer sharing
features are activated.
Network is "private".
Using Explorer, in the "Network folder", I cannot see any more the "XP PC"
folders and files. I can only see "Router" and "Vista PC", the latter
containing all the folders and printers which are shared shared on that
"Vista PC"
2/
On the "XP PC", I can 'see' the "Vista PC" folders but cannot access them. I
get an acess authorization error message, something like this : "Vista PC"
is not accessible. You may not have the necessary authorisations to use this
network resource...."
3/
If I launch a Ping command from either computer, it works, (it reaches the
other one).
Now, how could my LAN settings be changed when installing a new router?
I just don't know where to look and what to look for.
I would appreciate all your clues.
Is there a way to restart from scratch the Network configuration and
settings?
Many thanks in advance for your kind help.
With Best regards,
Daniel
