I've posted this a few days ago, but so far nobody's figured it out, so I thought I'd try again. I have a 3-computer network that connects to the net via tcpip and shares files and printers using netbios (netbeui). One desktop computer uses XP pro, the other OS/2, and they can share files with no problems. The third computer is a dell inspiron 5150 using XP home. When it is plugged into the WRT54G router via an ethernet cable it shares files and printers normally. However, I can't get it to share when it's running wireless. However, it can reach the net, and it can ping the other 2 computers Disabling Zonealarm doesn't help. Interestingly, file sharing has worked in the past, so either a setting on the laptop or the router was changed, or something in the latest linksys firmware (aug 05) or WinXP service pack broke it. I've done a packet capture with ethereal while I clicked on a link to a shared drive, and got the return message that the link was unavailable. Here's the output from that-- if anyone can interpret it to tell me if the problem's in the laptop or the router I'd appreciate it.
