Re: No Wireless Networks were found in range
Ummmm..........If it's the same as my router then the user name is blank and the password is whatever you set it to when you changed it. Sorry I can't be of any more help than that. If you've forgotten it I think you may need to do a complete reset.
What's the model number? I'll see what I can find out for you.

Re: No Wireless Networks were found in range
Ok:

No printing settings are entirely down to windoze. If you need to reset the router you will need to reinput the SSID / WEP key etc for your laptop to reconnect. The password for mine is now stuck to the router so i don't forget it.
I'm sure it has been asked so far but in Windows do you have file and printer shareing turned on on the PCs.
Do all the PCs belong to the same workgroup e.g. LISAUK
Does Each PC have a unique name LISA_DESK, LISA_LAPTOP etc.
Can you file share between these PCs, can you see them in the network neighbourhood on My Computer.
If not and they belong to the same workgroup, have you tried searching for them in My Computer (search for Or is it Find) and choose computer not file or folder.

Re: No Wireless Networks were found in range
I have restet my router and both LAPTOP & DESKTOP have stable internet connections.
Both machines have file and printer sharing turrned on.
Both machine belong to the same workgroup and have unique names.
I can not seem to share files between the two machines.
There is no netowrk neighbourhood on windows XP is there?
If i go to My Network Places, Microsoft Windows Network my Workgroup is displayed but it will not let me access it.
I have just search for the unique name I gave the DESKTOP on the network and it found nothing.

Re: No Wireless Networks were found in range
Ok, assuming that both machines are on XP..........
Do you have to put in a user name and password when you log into both machines?
My memory is a bit hazy but I know that I read somewhere that XP (and the other OS's that work along the sime lines) will only allow you to access a networked machine if you are logged in with a valid username and password.
You only mention the problems with files above, did you get the printers working?
Do you have a firewall running on either machine?
Can you PING one machine from the other? (One of the more network minded bods should be able to tell you how to do that)

Re: No Wireless Networks were found in range
I take it that you read the material on File Sharing in the link that I posted above?

Re: No Wireless Networks were found in range
1) On a workgroup, as Raistlin says, you have to have the same username and password on each machine.
2) To ping, open up a command prompt (Start/Program/Accessories) and type
ping <ip address>
where <ip address> is the ip address of the other machine - it will be something like
192.168.2.25
so
ping 192.168.2.25
If you don't know what the ip addess of the other machine is, open a command prompt on the OTHER machine, and type
ipconfig /all
If pinging by IP address is OK, type
ping -a <ip address>
This should display the NAME of the other machine.
If this works, type
ping <machine name>
e.g.
ping LISALAPTOP
post the results of these tests.

Re: No Wireless Networks were found in range
Both machines are running XP i do not have to log in I do not have this set up.
I still do not have the printers working because I can not see the other machine from the one i use.
I do have a firewall I have zonealarm on both.
I have not read the details you posted sorry.
I am dyslexic and reading to much info really does fry my brain.
I do need someone to tell me how to try and ping one machine from the other.
Cheers Lisa
