Accessing a computer through same wireless router...can it be done??

Hey, at my house we have a DI-524 wireless g router, with computers hooked up to it. One is hardwired and the other 2 wireless. I was wondering if it is possible to access the computers from eachother by going through the router. Thanks.

windows xp on all of them. The one that is wired to the router is windows xp home, and the wireless are both xp pro SP2.

 

ok, could you please give me a guide on how to setup one or something? Where is the icon to enter the setup? Thanks

download and install remote assitance in all computers and u can control them from your pc

 

All I could find about a network is setting up a network. That is like what I want, but that cant be wireless. It has to be to share an internet connection.

I have tried remote assistance, but the only one I can ever figure out how to do is the one in windows messanger. And in order to be able to get into the other computer, you need permission.

is there anything else that could use, that you dont need to go on the other computer and get permission to use? I dont want to have to always go back to the other computer to give it permission to access it. Any other suggestions/guides? All help is very appreciated.

 

Hey, ok. I got the network set up, but the thing is, is that the computer that I started the network on, can access the other computers. But then the other computers dont have permission to access it. Is there any way to give rights to the other computers also? Thanks

I did do that. I right clicked on the shared documents folder on the computer and made it look like this: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y271/redhatman/Sharedmproperties.jpg

is there something I have to do on the host computer to give all other computers right to access it besides enable file and printer sharing?

 

yes.

 

I had the same problem and just figured it out tonight. What I had to do was enable the user accounts by right clicking on My Computer icon then Manage> Local Users and Groups> Users. From there the Guest account was disabled so I enabled it and set permissions. Problem solved. It sounds like I have the same set up as you ie 1 wireless laptop (XP Home), 1 wireless desktop (XP Pro SP2) and 1 hardwired desktop (XP Pro SP2). Good luck!

 

Another tip...for the wireless networking I went into the control panel and used the "Wireless Network Setup" wizard. I utilized the flash key method and it worked like a charm.

 

ok, I made a bit of progress. I can now go on my other computer, and see all the computers that are in the network (couldnt before) and I can still access the other computer from the host computer. When I try to access the host computer, it says that I might not have rights to access it. I tried disabling all firewalls and antiviruses, but still dont have permission. On the host computer, there is only one account and it has admin rights? What else could I try to get rights to the computer? Thanks a lot guys.

There is no "guest" account on the host?

 

nope. I have guest accounts disabled. Should I enable it?

 

i also noticed that both computers have the same ip adress... would this be the problem?

Also, please answer about the guest account.

Thanks a lot.
