    Netgear GD834 home networking probs

    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

    They both running the same OS?. What OS is on them?. Just sounds like a permissions thing on the machines and nothing to do with the Netgear router (which rocks) got 2 myself and had 5 other people by them on my recommendation - i personally think they rock....

    yeah its only this one problem..both his systems are running XP so I couldn't figure out why we couldn't get file sharing to work, my network at home has 3-4 pc's on and everything is fine.

    was there anything else you did when you setup for file sharing to work?? I mean its a clean install of XP, anything in the router settings you played around with, i got BT, mIRC and his games working fine..is it to do with port forwarding??

    Just so strange, both PC's are online and can see each other on network yet can access shared folders..
