Ok I got a Netgear Router and 2 computers via wired connection and 1 wireless.

Now here is the problem my computer and the laptop (Via Wireless) can see and exchange files and vice vera.

BUT we cannot see the downstairs computer (Via Wired) but that computer can see the laptop and my computer but we for some reason cannot access that computer ?

The computer that cannot be seen on the network (It shows up and grouped computers but when double clicked comes up with \\Johnathon is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission.

The computer downstairs has guest account turned on and windows firewall is deactivated (No padlocks on network connections) but we cannot access his computer although he can see and access ours.

Downstairs WindowsXP SP2
Laptop WindowsXP SP2
My Computer Windows MCE

Anyone got any ideas ?

I dont think this has as much to do with the router as it is his computer so thought it might be a settings issue on his OS since he is the only one that can see all persons connected to the network but no-one else can see his ?

Also file sharing is enabled on the downstairs computer because them wee little blue hands are there on the drives ???
 
Yes all in MSHOME and I did not see a networking forum sorry.

By all means move this thread there I would have posted there myself but must have looked past it a hundred times (Not quite with it today)
 
The only process I seem to see is Server.exe.

As for #3 im not quite sure what you mean.

If I was able to access his computer at all it would come up with an empty folder with no drives but it is like his computer isnt even there ?
 
Sorry I have not been back ina while.

I have MS TCP/IP V6 installed and my dad has not. could that make a difference ?

Also in his networking connections he has a residential gateway section and I do not.

Also when using program like bittorrent as soon as its started on his machine the router denies everyone access to setup page and it takes several retries to load up 1 page ?
