Hi folks,

I am unexpectedly having trouble setting up my wireless laptop to do file and print sharing with my desktop (wired). Both machines connect to the internet ok (laptop - wirelessly, desktop - wired).

Setup is as follows .....

(1) Wi-Fi Router BT Voyager 2091 - Gateway [192.168.1.1]
(2) Desktop PC (WinXP-SP2) [192.168.1.2] Connected via ethernet cable
(3) New laptop (IntelPRO wireless) -WinXP MCE 2005 [192.168.1.3] connected wirelessly

Seems that with this mixed wired/wireless setup I cannot setup these two machines to see one another!!! I have tried both the wireless net setup wiz and the normal network setup wiz to no avail.

Any pointers??

Jools

PS Is the Windows Wireless Zero Config service vital??? -- I think it is turned off and I am using the defauly INTEL PRO WIRELESS Driver software instead. I could not connect to the internet unless I use this INTEL software.
