I have a problem with my wireless router. When I have more than one computer connected to the wireless network, I cannot ping, ftp, or telnet from one computer to the other. I can't do a windows remote session either. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

Have you checked the wireless side in the security settings to see if you have WEP ect enabled and that all computers have same key number?

It is most likely that there is a software firewall(s) on one or both of the computers blocking communications between them.

Check the DHCP setting on the router to ensure there is enough IP to allocate.
You can also type following command in command prompt (cmd.exe), then ensure your computer is assigned valid IP, netmask, gateway and DNS servers. If not, you can configure IP and other network info manually as well.
ipconfig /all
Hope helps..
