I'm having a problem with my home network. I have 2 computers, each running XP SP2, connected via a router. The routers is connected to the cable modem. The problem is that the computer in my living room cannot access the internet, while the computer in the bedroom can. I can also see the shared folders on both computers but cannot open them from either computer. Another problem is when I try to connect the 2 computers directly together and set up a home network, my living room computer always shows a connection problem icon and eventhough my bedroom computer shows no problem with the network, I cannot see the living room one. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

ipconfig /all of both computers Take a breath...

Sorry for the late reply, I was away. Anyway the ipconfig for both computers is as follows: Bedroom Computer: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : GENE Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-17-31-15-1C-3D Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 24.47.149.63 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.240.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 24.47.144.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 167.206.3.172 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 167.206.3.172 167.206.3.238 167.206.3.143 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Sunday, November 04, 2007 2:24:11 PM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Thursday, November 08, 2007 2:24:10 AM Living room computer: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : LIVINGROOM Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Mixed IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : WorkGroup Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : WorkGroup Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Linksys LNE100TX Fast Ethernet Adapt er(LNE100TX v4) Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-04-5A-49-92-79 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.40 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 24.47.144.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 167.206.3.172 167.206.3.238 167.206.3.143 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Monday, October 29, 2007 1:33:37 AM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Monday, January 18, 2038 10:14:07 PM
