Can View the Internet but not other computers?
I cant seem to figure out what is wrong here? I have 4 computers, 2 with XP Pro, and 2 with win 98 they are connected via a linksys wireless access point / switch, all can see the internet, but none can see eachother? Each is assigned its own ip address via the router but I cant ping any of them from another computer?
Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure under 'connection properties' for each PC's connection you have selected 'client for microsoft networks' and also under 'connection properties > TCP/IP properties' you have selected 'use netbios over TCP/IP'.
Also, do you have a firewall? If so, switch it off for testing as this can block ICMP 'ping' traffic.

1: make sure thay are all in the same Workgroup
2: Make sure that you put the I.P. address of the Router into the Gateway section.
3: To access the XP machine, you will need to set up user accounts for the other PC's to gain access.
Good Luck.
