XP Networking Print/File sharing
Hi Guys
Just replaced my old Netgear MR314 which worked fine.
OS's on all PC's XP Pro except the Acer which has XP MCE
New Router Linksys WRT54G (V1.1) Firmware 4.20.8 DHCP Disabled
SSID - ISO-OSI-7Layer WPA2 Personal TKIP+AES
nforce-3a XP1 - 192.168.5.2 - 00-E0-4C-E7-9F-nn - RTL8139 NIC Compaq 1830 - 192.168.5.4 - 00-38-BD-12-58-nn - RTL8139 NIC m810lr CUBE - 192.168.5.5 - 00-07-95-09-6F-nn - SiS 900 PCI NIC Acer 5633 LAN - 192.168.5.6 - 00-16-D4-53-A4-nn - Broadcom 440x NIC Acer 5633 WiFi- 192.168.5.7 - 00-18-DE-25-A5-nn - Intel PRO WiFi 3945ABG
Internet LAN and WiFi works fine but I cannot fathom Print/File sharing.
Every-time I run "Setup home or small office network" it adds an "Internet Gateway" in the "Network Connections" window (ICS I assume).
If I shutdown all but one PC and run the "Setup home or small office network" I always get this "Internet Gateway" added regardless of which PC I use.
If I disable "Internet Gateway" I can then file share but cannot access the internet!?
Any ideas why this happens and how to overcome it as I've never seen it before?
TIA
