Hi Guys,
I have a bit of an issue with a cisco router that i cant figure out.
I had my network on a linsys wrt54g until recently and everything worked great.
I changed to a cisco router and eventually got everything set up, but theres still one thing that is annoying me.
Let me give you a rundown of the network first.
Its DHCP , the PC's have zone alarm , but have the wireless and wired networks set to trusted , they have the windows firewall turned off.
The wired network is 192.168.13.0 and the wireless is set to 192.168.14.0 as i wanted them seperate.
Everything works well , internet , etc etc , and i can browse of other clients on the same network if i know their IP address.
What u cant to , or seem to figure out why it wont do it , is see the other clients when i scan the network , or go to my network places.
Why would this matter if i know the IP addresses i hear you ask ? Well i happen to have a Dlink Media Centre that goes looking for the server to play movies from my laptop and cant see it- and with it being a non standard PC , there are less options to play with on it , so it needs to be able to see the PC in my network places.
As i said , i can go to \\192.168.14.14 from 192.168.14.2 if i put in the ip address and i can transfer files with ease , but i cant see the clients , though i can ping them.
I know this has something to do with the config on the router as it worked on the linksys , so im wondering if anyone has any ideas of what i can add to the config to make this possible - my cisco router 877w does not have the normal config IOS on it and no GUI to play with , its all text based if anyone can help ?
