XP - Wireless Network problem

[zegonc]

I bought a USR Wireless Turbo Access Point & Router and two USR pci cards to make a network with two pc.

Was not easy but now I have the two PCI work with the Access Point (both receive the IPs from there).

With one PC I can ping the router but not the other PC.
With the other one I can’t ping the router neither the other PC but I can Ping the 127.0.0.1 and the IP of the PC himself (see attach).

Some times in the two PCs I can see both in the “Workgroup computers” but I never can open the remote PC they say there are no permissions to use Network; but I think that this is not the problem because in one PC I never could ping the router and the other PC.

There are no firewalls
There are the same Workgroup and users in both PCs.
The both PCs as the some config but one is XP Home (the one that can Ping the router)


I can_t put the local net working.

I need help, please
Thank you, and sorry about my English

Few questions?

Are you using DHCP on the router? (Thats the one that assings the ip addresses).

Type on prompt ipconfig /all, post the results of both computers.

[zegonc]

Yes I'm using the DHCP from the router.

What is funny is that the PC connects with the router with very good signal strength but I can’t ping it and neither the other PC.

Ideas are welcome

can you post the ipconfig /all information of the adapter, there we can see if effectively the adapter is talking to the DHCP.

[zegonc]

As you can see the PC can talk with DHCP but nothing happens more

nope..... its taking an automatic address...

Adapter 1 IP address: 81.193.10.185
Adapter 1 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.255

Adapter 2 IP address: 192.168.123.100
Adapter 2 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0

If you see both adapters have different addresses so looks like the DHCP of the router is not working your network at it should, here you have two different networks... thats why you cant ping each other and one pc doenst has internet access.

To be able to see them and access the computers on the network the both adapters need to have same ip address range and same subnet mask by example...

Adapter 1 Ip Address: 81.193.10.185
Adapter 2 Ip Address: 81.193.10.186
Subnet mask for both adapters 255.255.255.0

Plus the DNS and Gateway information needs to be the same... this for internet access.

One more thing do you have a seen on pc 1 i see a Dial up adapter not the ethernet card?

Do you have broadband? is this connected to the correct port in the router?

Forgot one thing from the very beggining......

This IP is Wan, is from my internet usb modem(Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-53-45-00-00-00
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 81.193.10.185)

This is from my wireless adapter:
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : U.S. Robotics 802.11g Wireless Turbo
Adapter
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-C0-49-CB-CE-DD

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.123.254

...and come from DHCP of the router

the other PC as 192.168.123.101 also form the DHCP

After what happen wrong I don't know, help me please

[zegonc]

I send three e-mails to the USRobotics support but they don’t answer me; in Portugal they don’t answer to the phone , this is like a joke.
So, don’t buy USRobotics products because, as you see they don’t have support.

[washe]

Can you please post your modem model and Router model to take a look on their website..

- Can the usb model be connected to a port on the router (usually wan port).

Dont worry we will try to help you out with this small problem.
