I have several computers (XP & Win98) in my home network, connected to the
internet through a DSL line, via a standard 5 port router. They communicate
fine with each other and with the internet.
I bought a laptop PC and a wireless router, which I connected to one of the
ports on the existing DSL router.
This PC can also reach the internet, but not the other computers on my home
network. This is a disaster for me, as I can't use the laptop for what I
bought it for unless I have access to the files on my server.
I suppose it has something to do with having two routers with two subnets,
but I don't have a clue how to go from there.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul
