Had a functional home network and my router died.
Bought a D-Link N130 (DIR-601), setup went quick and fast, all computers can access the Internet.
Computer name IP
Basement (XP, SP3) 192.168.0.101
Office (W7) 192.168.0.102
Blaptop (XP, SP3) 192.168.0.103
Dlaptop (XP, SP3) 192.168.0.104
Brothersprint 192.168.0.105 printer hanging on the network
All computers are in the same workgroup
Tried to connect to Basement from Blaptop, would not connect. “Windows cannot find \\Basement.
I ping’ed 192.168.0.101 answered ping, no packet loss
I ping’ed Basement replied with Basement.wor.rr.com [208.67.216.145], no packet loss (Had this like , what the ….., reaction)
I ping’ed 192.168.1.102 answered ping, no packet loss
I ping’ed Office replied with Office.wor.rr.com [208.67.216.145] , no packet loss (Yep, same IP)
Searched the forumns and turned off Advanced DNS Service
Now when I ping Basement, it replies with "could not find host Basement"
I hand jammed the names/IPs into all the computer hosts files. Cleared arp, cleared the IP stack.
Pinged 192.168.1.101 no response
Pinged Basement replied with Basement [192.168.1.101], but no response.
Any ideas?
