Now that you have deleted the bridging connection, can W7 ping XP (doesn't matter if it's a LAN pining a wireless), if both machines are on the same vlan (should be if you config them correctly) then they should be able to be pinged.

Here is a copy of that ping.

internet

does either machine have internet access at all

 

[neoknight037]

Yeah, they both are able to search the internet, no problem...

 

[neoknight037]

Should I try a release and renew on the XP?

 

[computersplus]

Network

I would turn off both computers and unplug the modem and router power cords then first plug power back into modem then back into the router then turn on 7 machine then xp machine and see what you get please follow that order

 

[neoknight037]

I will try your guy's fixes tomorrow, I have to turn in for the night. THX...

 

[neoknight037]

Someone has advised me that since Windows XP is a Home version that it is not a good system (OS) to or that is good for Networking to?

 

[acurasd]

Well its not the easiest to work with.. that's all but it still works.

 

[Frostmourne]

If all your PC's had Windows 7, homegroup would have been much easier.

 

[acurasd]

haha true that....

I'll help you out...

if you want to IM and i can help you step by step becuase 5 pages almost 6 is kind of redonkulous

I'll go step by step with you and we can nip this in the butt. Seems like we are going around in circles here.

 

[neoknight037]

Well its not the easiest to work with.. that's all but it still works.

So what is it a Security setting, that I must configure?

 

[aem]

Well if you cannot ping from one machine to the the other, regardless if it has internet access or not, nothing will work.

Your W7 desktop is wired to your router. What is the IP setting you have set on it (give ipconfig /all details)?

Your laptop which i assume can connect to the wireless network. What is the IP setting on it (give ipconfig /all details)?

You need to not have the connections bridged of anything.

Your Xp wireless connectons is Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection 2:

Where is "Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection"?

First, get the W7 desktop connected to the router and make sure it is working fine. This means surfing the net.

Second, get the Xp wireless connection connected to your wireless network, Make sure it can log on and surf the net also.

Although accessing the net is not essential for file and printer sharing you might as well get this out of the way so you won't have to ask later.

Try it and come back telling us it's "done".
