1. Is the router firmware the latest?
2. Are you conversant with accounts and sharing procedures in "Windows?"

Seems many encounter issues in this kind of scenario.
Tech help and documentation seems limited- Any ideas out there to try??
Facts: New DLink Router DI-604, Bellsouth Fast Access DSL PPPoE connection, 2 computers and 2 printers I'd like to share in home network. New Dell 4700 and older Gateway both with XP Home SP2. McAfee anti-virus, firewall etc. on both
Internet works great on both systems. Can see shared folders on Gateway back to Dell but can't access. Dell does not see Gateway shares. Can see each systems' shared folders in their respective network places. In fsmgmt.msc see respective shares only.
Tried: Disabled software firewalls (windows & mcafee) no luck seeing shares. Errors with network access- denied on both systems. Network wizard creates network work group on both systems, sees the computer names. Stuck on if it's an XP, DLink or McAfee issue.
Ideas? Thanks in advance!
