I put two Windows 7 computers into the OPENWRT workgroup - one on the wired LAN, one on the wireless LAN. Both have their WINS configuration set to "NetBIOS over TCP/IP". Both have been rebooted. On both computers, The network contains three nodes: - AD1C (wireless) - JJR (wired) - OPENWRT (router) I browse OPENWRT and see the tmp folder. However, when I try to browse \\JJR (from AD1C) or \\AD1C (from JJR), Windows 7 says "Windows can not access \\<HOST>" You also suggested I try browsing by IP address: \\the.ip.add.ress\sharename That actually WORKS! So why does the IP address work, but the NAME (ie. JJR or AD1C) does not? Note that there is another computer on the wired network, it's still int the "WORKGROUP" workgroup, and it does *not* show up as a node on the network. This is what I expected, is that what you expect? -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreis...@alum.mit.edu>, http://www.ad1c.us _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list Bloat@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
