    file sharing help

    I am having trouble with sharing files over my network at home and was wondering if you could lend a hand.
    I have a Netgear dg834g connected by ethernet to a pc running 2k and two other pc's (running xp home) connected to the wireless network from the router. I have set up file sharing and the two wirelessly connected xp boxes see each other fine and can access each others files. However the 2k machine does not see either of the other two computers and the two see the 2k box but cannot access it coming up with a network path not found error.
    The 2k box has its software firewall off for the moment to test it and so it isnt that interfering. I have the two xp boxes set up with zone alarm to allow the subnet and thus allow 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 could this be a problem for the 2k box?

    Any ideas would be very welcome, thanks

    you'll need to allow the whole IP range or thge specific machine IPs in ZoneAlarm - turn ZoneAlarm off first see fi you can get it working without.

    Try accessing the machines with IP address from the 2k box over hostnames I find it more reliable on the DG834G wireless.
