Do I need separate subnets? Steve Jones 07-18-05

Hi,

I have the following hardware:

ROOM1:

DSL modem, 192.168.1.250
Buffalo AirStation 54G, 192.168.1.251
PC, 192.168.1.

ROOM2:

Buffalo AirStation, 54G 192.168.1.252
PC, 192.168.1.

ROOM3:

Buffalo AirStation, 54G 192.168.1.253
PC, 192.168.1.

All the PCs have a default gateway of 192.168.1.250 and I can get internet
access without any problems on all of them.

My problem is that the PCs in rooms 2 and 3 can ping the Room 1 equipment
but not each other.

Even the PC's in room 3 cannot ping each other even though there plugged
into the back of the same AirStation.

Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, Steve.

are the clients set NOT to respond to ping?

Is the airstation set for "client isolation'?
