I've been running a Linksys "B" wireless network for a bunch of years now with only minimal issues.
My daughter is off to college next week, so we went out and bought her a new laptop last week. While I was in Circuit City, one of the local sales guy Geeks talked me into upgrading my "B" to the fancey dancey new "N"...in draft version 2. (D-Link stuff)
I won't bore you with all the "OTHER" problems that this casued me, but I still can't get one feature working, that I really need to work, and I was hoping someone here could help....
I have 5 machines at home....two desktops (DT) and three laptops (LT).
DT1 is wired to the router and running MS XP-Home SP 2
DT2 is wireless PCI "N" card running MS XP-Home SP 2
LT1 is wireless internal "B" running MS 2000
LT2 is wireless internal "B/G" running MS XP Professional SP 2
LT3 is wireless internal "B/G/N" running MS Vista Home Premium
Laptop 3 is the new machine (Toshiba Satellite) and is my problem child. All the machines are joined to a home workgroup called "DOMHOME". Except for LT3, they can share files and printers. I can see LT3 from the the other machines but I can't access any files on LT3 and LT3 can't access any other machine or a printer hanging off of DT1.
LT3 has Symantec Norton and Spyware running (Gary....any old buddies you know that can help) and I have tried going back and forth between MS and Norton Firewall settings.
Toshiba, MicroSoft, and Circuit City are all blamming the "other guy's suff".
Any help would be appreciated....
