Hi! I had 2 computers working fine by themselves. I got from a friend a de-805tp d-link router. When i hook up my internet modem to the router, then from the router to both computers, they both have internet access. My problem is that they're not connected together.
I tried setting up the network wizard on both machines, still can't print with the 2nd computer or simply share files between them.

Why not go to DLink Support and download the Manual to peruse at your leisure ?
