My current internet setup at home is as follows:
I have a Windows 7 32-bit desktop connected to one of the LAN ports of my D-Link DSL 2730U router via an ethernet cable. The desktop has a printer connected to it and exists on a network named "Network 2" which is different from the wifi network named "HomeDPK" hosted by the aforementioned router. I also have a windows 10 64-bit dell laptop, a windows 7 64-bit hp laptop and an android smartphone, all of which can both connect to internet and see each other though the "HomeDPK" wifi network.
While my ultimate goal is to be able to share files/folders and the printer connected to my desktop with all my wireless devices (including my smartphone), right now I am stuck trying to bring both the desktop and my wireless devices on the same network.
In addition to checking workgroup names on all devices and the file sharing permissions, I have already tried powercycling the router and flushing the dns on the desktop, but they haven;t helped. Can someone please help me figure out what i should be doing and how i should go about trying to get my devices to communicate with one another.
Thanks in Advance.
