Greetings, I have three wired Windows XP machines that were previously networked and file/printer sharing successfully using a Belkin router and w/McAfee Firewall enabled. Recently bought a wireless laptop (also Windows XP) and a new Linksys WRT54G wireless router.The problem is that each of my three wired machines and the wireless laptop are all recognized by the router and each is able to access the internet, but my LAN is non-existent unless I first disable McAfee's Firewall which I'd prefer not to do. I'm confused as it worked for Belkin, but not Linksys. I'd prefer NOT to leave the firewall disabled. Does anybody have a workaround for this? TIA!!!
