Can not reach other computers on the wireless network.

Hi

I have a WRT300N V2.0 that works like it should against the internet. I

have two computers connected by wireless to this router. They are
assigned ip-addresses 192.168.1.102 and 192.168.1.105. Both can reach
the internet.


What I would like is to be able to run remote desktop from one to the
other. The problem is i can not even ping one from the other. Both can
ping the router on 192.168.1.1 but i am not able to ping 192.168.1.102
from 192.168.1.105. It is almost as if when i run ping, it runs it on
the internet instead of the local network.


Both computers run Win XP SP2 with firewall turned OFF.


Any ideas to what I could be doing wrong?

 

It sounds like your firewall is not turned off, is it possible you are
running another firewall, than the built in firewall? Perhaps your antivirus
program has internet worm protection? I suggestion trying this page by MVP

pinpoint the problem area(s) - http://winhlp.com/wxnet.htm
