Hello,
I purchased a Linksys WRT54G All-in-one Internet-sharing Router, 4-port Switch, and Wireless-G (802.11g) Access Point . I called customer support and asked for help from Linksys to configure my router for a my home network and found they don’t provide help in this area. I have a PC connected with a cat-5 cable & a laptop connected wireless to --> Linksys ROUTER which is connected to a [DSL MODEM] ----|| Internet. I am able to access the internet on both computers. But have no connectivity between computers. I used the windows xp network set up wizard, and selected computers connecting to the internet through a residential gateway, each computer has its own name, work group name is mshome for both, and file and printer sharing was turned on. In MY NETWORK PLACES it shows MSHOME but when I try to open it I get a Microsoft windows network error message stating mshome is not accessible. I tried to ping each computer from the other one and it timed out.
Laptop: ipconfig /all
DHCP is enabled yes
Autoconfiguration enabled yes
IP Address 192.168.1.101
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.1.1

DNS Servers 4.2.2.4

DHCP Server 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers 4.2.2.4

What do I need to do to configure my router or computers to form a network?
Thank you,
