Wired vs. Wireless Woes
Here's the setup:
1 home desktop wired (Win7 Premium)
1 work desktop wired (Win7 Premium)
1 work laptop wireless(Vista Business)
1 laptop wireless (kids) running Vista Home
1 laptop wireless (kids) running XP
just added
1 netbook (wife) with Win 7 starter
Fought homegroup, so turned that off on all Win7 machines.
Every computer on the network can see the netbook (and all other computers). But you can't connect to it.
On the netbook, it can not see any wired computer, but can see the wireless computer (other than the Vista business computer). So I hooked an ethernet cable and the netbook can see the entire network.
All computers belong to WORKGROUP. The netbook can connect to the router and internet just fine. End result is I need to see the network so my wife can print from the internet to the network printer (on my main desktop). I'm pretty good when it comes to working this stuff out (had computers since 1984), but I spent the better part of this afternoon to no avail.
So any ideas or suggestions are welcomed.
