Hey all, rather troubling problem with my network.

Setup:

U.S. Robotics ADSL Sureconnect Wireless router
3 wired clients (1 being a server)
2 wireless clients

Static connection IP address

Since my ADSL broadand service came online, my networked computers havent been able to communicate with each other, which is a bugger because my server one has shared storage space and acts as a family printer server.

Try using names or IP addresses and they are not found (firewall exceptions configured btw).

Try ping through command prompt and get "destination host unreachable", this includes pinging the router itself which clearly works because:

- I can log in through the admin web interface
- My clients IP addresses are issued by the router's integrated DHCP server
- Every client has ADSL access

Someone recons its DNS playing up, any ideas :} ?

Are any of the clients running XP SP2 or another software firewall package? If so, disable the firewall(s) on the individual clients as your router will act as a firewall of sorts for you.

Make sure they are all on the same network and subnet and you should be able to communicate with them without a problem.
