    Sharing on network between LAN and WiFi


    Problem:
    I have a Win7 PC connected to router through LAN. I have Win8 connected to router over WiFi. How to share files between them? Is it MS related or router related problem?
    Workarounds:
    If I connect Win8 through LAN, sharing is working.
    Win7 can ping Win8, but entering in explorer \\IP I get common "you do not have permission...". Win8 can't ping Win7 at all.

    I have searched a lot, found a lot of similar problems but none of them was mine and solutions didn't work.

    Is there more than one router in this network? Maybe a modem/router then another wireless router?

    You shouldn't have any problems sharing between LAN and wireless unless they aren't using the same default gateway which points to a router configuration problem.

    If you can post the .txt file that is created on your desktop by unzipping and then clicking on the ipconfig file, from both machines it would be helpful.
