I cannot connect to my work server from my wireless connection
 

I just recently set up a wireless network at my work place, However with the new computers i have set up I'm not able to connect to my server at work by start > run > \\server name, or through a remote desktop connection. I'm using a Netgear wireless N rangemax router with the netgear 108mps wirless card, I'm able to connect those PC's to the internet but not to my server? Please Help!

Thanks,

Is the server in the right IP range? It is quite normal for a server to have a static IP set, if it is not in the same subnet then there will be no access!

Oh and :welcome: !

I have the router set as a DHCP.

Can you browse the web from the server?

Yes

Do you get a response from

ping SERVERNAME

?

we have no domain by the way everything is connected by work group.

Thats fine, so you can ping it, what error do you get when you try \\SERVERNAME then ?

Re: I cannot connect to my work server from my wireless connection
 

"ping request canot find host \\servername please check the name and try again".

may sound silly but check all PCs are using the same name, not sure if it is case sensitive

Re: I cannot connect to my work server from my wireless connection
 

No thats not what I meant, when you put \\SERVERNAME in run or the explorer address bar, what exactly comes up/happens?

Re: I cannot connect to my work server from my wireless connection
 

I understood, it will say "cannot connect" to server

Are any of the Clients/Servers running Firewalls?

Re: I cannot connect to my work server from my wireless connection
 

No, all firewalls were disabled.

it kind of weird I have a computer that is wireless at my work that can access the server and i have tried to configure the others the same way but still no luck.

Any DNS involved? Can you connect via IP address (\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)? I suspect it is something to do with name resolution. Presumably, the clients are on a different sub-net to the server, with the router ....routing.
