after buying a dlink 604 router, and switching it with my netgear switch, my microsoft networking does not work anymore. i am unable to access the shared files on the machines. sometimes i cant even see the computers under the workgroup. firewalls are off, please help thx
also, i used the network wizard in windows and chose that my computer is connected through a residential gateway, which i believe is also known as a router. before i switched the netgear with the dlink, my setting was on the hub setting. i tried both settings, still does not work. all 3 machines are running windows xp
some more info: my desktop is 192.168.0.100 and my laptop is 192.168.0.102. i can't ping each other, whats up with that? this is frustrating!! please help
