I have an SB2 which I have connected to a PC via a cross-over cable so that the SB2 is acting as a wireless bridge.
This is working fine - the SB2 is at IP Address 192.168.0.54 and the PC is at 192.168.0.55. The PC is configured so that the SB2 is the default gateway and I can browse the net from the PC etc. with no problem. In the fullness of time I intend to set this PC up as a dedicated slimserver box. The problem comes when I try to ping this PC behind the wireless bridge from another PC - IP Address 192.168.0.35. My other PC's simply refuse to see it - all PC's are connected to the same wireless network as the SB2 etc. However the PC connected behind the bridge can ping and see all the other PC's with no problem. Both PC's are in the same Windows XP workgroup and indeed in the workgroup the second PC can see the first PC with no problems but cannot use TCP/IP to access it. All PC's and the SB2 are configured with the same subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The SB2 and all the other PC's are configured to have the default gateway of the Router - 192.168.0.1. All IP Addresses are static and the other PC's have no problems seeing the SB2 or the router or the internet etc. What am I doing wrong here or will the wireless bridge effectively hide the second PC from any other PC's on the network - clearly not an acceptable situation. I'm 99% certain this is not a firewall issue either as the second PC can see other PC's on the network with ease. I'm going slowly mad over this so any help gratefully received.
