I have a Belkin F5D7230-4 ver. 3000 router which I use with a DSL connection. This computer is hardwired, and I have two more that connect to the router/Internet wirelessly, and everything works flawlessly.

All of the computers are using the same domain name, and they all have file and print sharing enabled, but none of them can see each other. Each computer gets a reply when it pings the router, but never get replies when they try to ping the other computers (192.168.2.3 and 192.168.2.4).

Therein lies the problem...each computer appears on the DHCP Client List the router provides, and each has full connectivity to the Internet, but they can't see each other. When I try to 'View Workgroup Computers', I get a message saying the workgroup is not accessible.

I have used this computer on a LAN using a different router with no problems, so are there any known problems with LANs in this particular version of router?

This may be more of a work around than a solution, but if you just enter the ip address information in your lmhost file, it should solve the problem.

That should work, but you might also want to try setting your NIC properties via the Device Manager to 100 MB Full Duplex.


UNIX is an operating system, OS/2 is half an operating system, Windows is a shell, and DOS is a boot partition virus.

what? 100mb full duplex? anyway, check you to see if your router does "any ip", if it does try turning it on. Else, you could put a static route on the clients, or on the server. I would expect that you havent actually multihomed your router, as in given it an alias on each subnet???
