hi thx for looking ,

i have a network at my house with 2 desktops and a laptop on it... we had all 3 computers sharing files flawlessly about a month ago.. we were just using a belkin wireless router for all computers... with the desktops connected via ethernet and the laptop connecting wirelessly....


now we have moved one of the desktops into another room and added a router (lynksys rt31p2) to that computer...

so now the connections are as follows:

1st desktop is connected to the belkin router through ethernet

2nd desktop is connected to the lynksys router through ethernet

with the the lynksys router plugged into the belkin router via ethernet

the laptop is still connecting wirelessly...


all have internet working flawlessly but we can nolonger see the other computers on the network and cant share folders or printers anylonger...

have tried to stop all sharing and setting up ther network againn but that didnt help

can anyone help me??

Can each computer ping another computer?

What are the IP addresses and workgroup names of each computer?

Turn off Windows (and any third party) firewalls until connection is established. Firewall(s) should then accommodate the new connection.
