Re: Intermittent access between computers on network

Hello all - thanks for your replies on this...

Can you enter the actual IPs manually to be in the trusted zone?
Yes, IPs can be entered manually into the Norton Firewall networking configuration, either an individual IP, or a range of IPs, or using a network address and subnet mask.

Would I be setting this manually and if so, what do I need to set to allow for both my main PC and laptop plus any other laptop I may bring home and want to allow to connect into my network?

When I say they "cannot see each other" (sorry probably a silly expression), I cannot browse to the other PC in My Network Places or connect to it in Add Network Place. I haven't tried pinging when they are in this state, so I don't know if that would show something different.

The main PC is wired into the router, the other is wireless. I have looked on the various tabs of my WRT54G's configuration but cannot find anything about "infrastructure mode" - sorry, do you know where would I check and set that. I've looked in the user manual too and it doesn't seem to mention this mode.

Thanks all.
