Hi folks, Since I changed my router to the WRT54G (-TM) I can't seem to connect my laptop to the LAN computer?

Question

I recently changed my router and I can't connect my laptop (wireless) to my desktop. The problem is with the router setting because I switched back to the old router (netgear) and the two computers could share files without a problem. Any advice?

Answer 2

Actually the problem could be with the firewall on the desktop machine:

that's because the firewall could have been set to trust addresses in the range that the Netgear used (such as 192.168.0.x) and could be rejecting addresses that the WRT54G is using (such as 192.168.1.x - see the 1 instead of the 0?)

Answer 3

Did you make any router configuration changes?  If you did, you might want to reset the router by pressing the Reset button on the back of the router for about 15 seconds and see if helps.
