Stupid question but, are you using the router to set DHCP ? eg the
router is assigning IP addresses Mine at home is a Draytek Vigour 2600
that sets the IP for all my Linux and Windows boxes, it also acts as
my firewall, Laptops and PC's can all see/talk to one another.
Is your PC/Laptop set to assign address from DHCP eg the router?
I'll answer both Ben's and Dicks questions in this one mail.
Ping? no. OS's? I've tried alsorts of combinations. Windows 2000
and Windows 2000, Win 2000 and Win 98, Win 2000 and Linux (various
flavours) and alos Linux and Linux. None will talk to each other but
they can all see the router and I can use the web interface via a
browser to admin it whatever PC I'm using.
DHCP? Yes, router assigned and yes I can see all PC's connected to
the router in the admin section of the router. I have checked
firewall settings for each individual PC even going to the extent of
completely switching them off. It's crazy as like I said, if I
substitute the router for a plain switch and assing individual IP
addresses (manually) they talk to each other without a hitch.
Oh yes, I've even tried a different 'Linksys' modem router and I had
the exact same problem :-(
