winXP Pro, Big Time Net Problem

[Floppy]

Hey

I have been strugling with this problem for 3 weeks. :

I have :

1) 1 laptop winxp PRO (Wlan)

2) 1 laptop winxp PRO (Wlan)

3) 1 PC winxp Pro (Wired)

4) 1 PC winxp Pro(Wired) \\FAST\C

5) 1 PC winxp Pro(Wired)

The three PC's are wierd to a switch, the two laptops goes to a CNET CWR-853 wlan router.

I have have my broadbad connected to the CNET router, and the switch connected to the router.

I can access 1,2, from 3,4,5.

BUT I can Not access 3,4,5 from 1,2, or 3,4,5 from 3,4,5

They are all member of MSHOME.

MS firewall are disabled

All PC's has the ""guest"" enabled.

I have scheked all wiring, with a instrument

NIS are disabled, I have tried to hook No.5 up without any firewall instaled.No Go.

I have enabled NIS with the IP adresses configurated.

I turned of the router and laptops, reinstaled the network on the three PC's(only using the switch).

I have diabled ""Simple file sharing"" in 3,4,5.

I have done the PING thing like this; PING FAST ---> 100% ok, no problem!! And I can PING all PC's.

The router has DHCP enabled an the PC'S get their IP adress just fine.

The funny thing is: If I use IE and put in "" \\FAST\c "" in the browser, it comes up just fine.

Help, I just want to have a simple network with a printer an accsess to HD's (Disk's)...

The problem is;

I can access 1,2, from 3,4,5.

BUT I can Not access 3,4,5 from 1,2, or 3,4,5 from 3,4,5

If you are trying to access the pcs by name then a means of name resolution is required, ideally a DNS server but with such few pcs you could make entries to the hosts files on each with the static IP assignments you use in your network (static IPs are preferable with so few pcs).

Hmmmm not sure what you mean...

If I set up a shared disk like \\fast\c , then it would appear in my network..

The thing is that all PC apppears in "my network neighbour", but when I press it, it only says somthing like "You are not allowed..."

ah, i see. in that case you should map the drives instead of browsing in network places:

-right click "my computer" and select "map network drive".

-in the dialog box select a drive letter suitable for the remote share to be represented by.

-type the path to the share (\\fast\c).

-click the blue text below that reads "connect using a different user name".

-in the boxes type the username and password of a user account that has the rights to access that share (eg the user account you use at the pc where you created the share) and click OK.

-click finish.

now the share will appear in "my computer" as a drive.

Thank you for your help!
