Network
 

I have a problem with my home network........I CAN access the internet from
the wireless, no problem.
I CANNOT print to my printers nor can I access network places (drives and
folders). This problem has been intermittent for awhile and and then plugging
in the router everything returns to normal, meaning everything works.

Now the problem is permanent and plugging has done nothing . Do I need a
new router or is there a way to check????

EQUIPMENT
VIAO SONY 44g wired computer that is the main one.
Lyncsys wired router
Linsys wireless router plugged into the wired one
VIAO S150 wireless computer.

How did you connect the wireless and wired routers? Is the wired computer
connected to the wired router, as a peer to the wireless router? That will be a
problem, as the wired computer won't have access to the wireless LAN.

Retire the wired router and just use the wireless router.
If you need more lan ports than it has available, get an
inexpensive switch to increase the number of ports.
Mutiple routers create a level of complexity that is
unnecessary in a home environment.
