hi all,
recently got my friend a Netgear ADSL router GD834, at first things seemed easy enough, we connected it up and he was online within minutes, even got the port forwarding stuff sorted pretty quick.
The problem came when we tried to transfer files from one of his systems to the other, on the network page you can see that there were 2 pcs on there but access wasn't allow. I made sure that the windows networking protocol was enabled on both and the files we want were shared but still no luck. After reading some stuff from different forums we found that software firewalls such as black ice can cause this but neither of his pc's had any kind of firewall.
Anyone here got a solution to this. I myself use a Linksys router and never experienced this, normally getting online is the problem.
thanks for the help,
Ady
