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.
