Hi,

I have a wireless network set up at my house and shop. When I plug a cat5 wire into my notebook I can share and print things over the network perfectly. But when I go wireless I cannot access anything. I am still using the netbuei protocol so XP can see and access the other computers. It seems to work when everything is wired. I do not know what the problem is. I had a Netgear G router and replaced it with a Belkin N router at my house. At my shop I have a Belkin G router because it is a wide open space.

I have a Compaq/HP V2000 notebook. My old HP laptop did the same thing. I have pretty much tried everything to fix it.

Thanks for any tips.

Justin

Many of the Wireless Devices do not support NetBEUI.

I got it. I installed the NetBios protocol and enabled it over TCP/IP. Then typed in an alternate IP address in the second tab so the internet and sharing would work at the same time. I'm sold school when it comes to networking, lol. So long NetBEUI...
