I have 3 comps, with comp 1 being my main rig. All 3 could see each other on the network thru "My Network Places" connected with RJ45 with a Linksys router.

I installed a WLAN card on comp 1 (main rig) Now when I goto "My Network Places" I can no longer see the other 2 comps. They can see each other but neither can see me.:confused:

I have a setup of six computers (laptops and towers), wired and wireless. Sometimes I have the problem you have described - to fix it, I temporarily disable my anti-virus/internet shield/firewall (F-Secure), then establish the connection, then re-enable F-Secure.

It worked first time out of the box Rob... see this is why I wanted to stay with Linksys... simplicity.. :)
