hi. thanx for replying.
i'm using only the windows xp firwall on all.
i belive that the router have some firwall enabled but it shoud not make a differnce. is it?
they all get automatic i.p. by the DHCP server from router. and235100, should i change that?
to try clear up, i can see the wireless + ori_two -- on ori_one
can see ori_two- on wireless but not ori_one
can see wireless - on ori_two but not ori_one
will try look a bit on firewall setups here. as much-little as i know..
thanks. ori.
Assigning static addresses, especially for only 3 PCs makes sense - then you know exactly which PC is using which IP - even after reboots and periods of no use.
First - turn the software firewalls off on each computer - see if that helps matters. If it does, then file sharing will have to be configured correctly - as mpfister says.
If that doesn't - then you will have to look at either - your router (as you said), or other security software, such as antivirus...
hi there.
so, so far- i deactiveted the windows firewall from the 3 pc's. ori_one still did not apear.
i tryied to ping. here are the results: (i can only geuss)

(from ori_two to ori_one )
about static i.p. - i'm convised :) it would help me and if you please. where can i find my "hardware address" listed? (on XP)
i'm not playing around with program seting and etc' as i did that for few days now and before. i might try plug out the phone line and try it in safemode with minimum programs running.. i'll let you know.
thanx. chears so far. ori.
hello again.
while testing them in safe mode i found out a funny thing. i was not sgn in as adminstrator to ori_one. when going back few months ago - took my pc to the shop. had a password protect to the admin acount. the mecanic coud not find me and made (i think i geuss and i don't know how) an acount of which i'm coneccting now.
while in safe mode i could see the admin acount with same password as i setup few months ago. while in regular mode i cannot see the admin acount or being asked for any password.
so thanks for the attation.
i'll contact the shop in two days (we are on holiday here :). and let you know.
if you have any suggests i'll be happy to know. geuss the topic changed.. i'll worry, anyway about the points once it's solved. from my end or olther.
thanx. ori.

Have you checked the firewall of ori_one? You must allow file sharing to pass through the Windows XP firewall.
