    Router Problems

    The other day I installed a router it works fine 2 machines are running well together except I cant share files between machines

    I've pinged each of them from the other machine and I get no loss of data
    Just they wont talk to each other.


    also the router has a print server but cant get it to print stuff. It goes to the printer to be printed just nothing comes out of the printer

    1 machine runs XP the other runs ME

    Are the pc's set up in the same work group? Have you enabled printer and file sharing?

    You may have to install IPX/SPX and NetBeui as well. I am sure Jaynee can handle it.

    I have 6 PCs on a 3com switch. 98SE, 2 XPs, Linux, DOS7/Win31, and Freedos. I had to use IPX/SPX and NetBEUI just to get 98SE and the XPs to work before adding the others. TCP/IP was also installed on this motley network.
