BT 2700HGV router

jackburton — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:44:50 GMT

Hi,

I have just switched to the 2700HGV router from a 3com one (which broke)..

All PCs can connect to the internet but none of them can see each other in Windows Explorer to share files and printers and in command prompt, they cannot ping each other. IP addresses are resolved from the machine names however.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

Richard.

Are they all on the same workgroup? Also, do the machines have software firewalls? If so, you will need to configure these to allow full access to your LAN ip range.

Hi Dave, Thanks for replying.

It was McAfee Firewall preventing connection.

Thx
