Hi,

Im having trouble with my home network.
I have 3 computers set up with 1 of the pcs connected to the other 2. 1 of these connections is by ethernet cable and the other is wireless 802.11g . I have the windows xp network bridge set up linking the 2 networks. Internet Connection Sharing works fine on the 2 client machines. The wired client can access the files on the wireless client and vice-versa. My problem is accessing the files on the main pc in the middle and it accessing the files on the other 2. Please could someone shed light on the matter.
Thanks.

Here are the results when I run network diagnostics:

Try setting static IP addresses on all three comuputers.

or


Set up all of the connections again, this should only take five minutes.
if u have broadband when u are setting the connections up again. dont set it up with broadband because you can add it later by sharing it.


or

disconnect the bridge, see if you can access all of the computers resource now if you can remake the bridge.
