Hi

I bought a Netgear router yesterday and set up my home network. My three PCs can connect to the Internet fine through the router but I can't seem to get them to ping each other or to share printers etc. I have run the Windows XP home network configuration wizard on all three with the same settings and file and printer sharing turned on but it still doesn't seem to work. I have added the network to the trusted network list in Norton 360...
 
Is your windows firewall off?
 
Make sure you are using simple file sharing, I've had trouble in the past while using the other setting (advanced?) for sharing files...
