From: RobFJ on 15 Apr 2010 05:13 I've got a laptop running Win7Pro. If I access the network via ethernet cable I can see the three workstation pc's on the network. (That's what I expect.) If I access the same network via wireless I can see just one pc. Internet access works fine from the laptop on either wireless or ethernet connection. All the pc's are in the same workgroup. Two other pc's are running Win7; the other is running XP. There are no problems on any other pc. Can anyone help me get wireless connected to the missing pc's Thanks

From: Lem on 15 Apr 2010 11:22 The only other thing I can think of is a firewall setting. Make sure that your wireless network connection isn't characterized as a "public network." http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee851569.aspx RobFJ wrote: > Laptop is connected via a workgroup (both). > > ip address of the wireless connection is 192.168.0.8 > > ip address of the ethernet connection is 192.168.0.12 > > ...and Yes the other pc is definitely mine - it's my desktop <G> > > > > "Lem" <lemp40(a)unknownhost> wrote in message > news:erEYwrJ3KHA.1016(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> RobFJ wrote: >>> I've got a laptop running Win7Pro. >>> >>> If I access the network via ethernet cable I can see the three >>> workstation pc's on the network.

Hi Lem, You were right <BG> - it was the firewall, not in windows but in my anti-virus software. If I switch it off, all the other pc's are there; if I switch it back on, they disappear. Now I just need to find out what to change in those settings - but that's another forum Thanks for your help.
