laptop's wirelss connection gets internet but not network

by Ekaba1 Feb 10, 2007 8:29AM PST

I got a laptop recently and it immediately connects to the internet with no problems. The computer that the router and modem is connected to also has a drive I am using for storage. I had created a home network for all my pcs, but this is the first time I am trying to allow a wireless pc connect to it. I tried running the wireless networking wizard, but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Thanks

We covered all the usual angles. They discovered not only the firewalls on the PCs but the one in the router PLUS has to recreate the share.
