I have a netgear wired router used to share the internet from a cable modem to 4 computers. Before this I used a regular hub a proxy server installed on one of the computers. The problem I am having since using the router instead of the hub, is that I am no longer able to share files and printers between the computers. It seems that some sort of security setting inside the router is keeping the computers from connecting using windows file sharing and printer sharing. To resolve this I connected my hub into the router and connected all the computers into the hub. The router is still serving as the DHCP server and assigns IP addresses and I'm able to share files and printers normally now with the hub. Is there a way around this without using the hub?
Any info is greatly appriciated!!!
