I am trying to establish a LAN network between the computers in our home using a Linksys Wireless Router. My wife and I each, have a desktop computer with XP-Home installed. The two desktop computers are wired to ports in the wireless router. I have a Compaq Presario Laptop with Windows 98 installed, using a wireless connection. I have gone through the setup procedures and have been successful with one exception. From my computer I can access my wife’s computer and the laptop. From the laptop I am able to contact my wife’s computer and mine. From my wife’s computer, I can contact the laptop but cannot contact my computer. When I try, I get the message that my computer is not accessible nor does it recognize the name of the network. I have checked the settings I know of, but cannot establish a connection from her computer to mine. What do I need to change in her computer or mine to allow her computer access to my computer?
