I have a Thinkpad that connects to my LAN wirelessly on the same
router that supports my Work group. It is not the only device that
connects to the LAN on wifi. My phone and two other laptops do as
well. The other devices are working fine on wifi.
The problem laptop is running Win7 Pro and appears in the
network listings of all other LAN members. The Thinkpad has shares
enabled. The laptop can connect and access the members of the LAN but
none of wired members of the LAN can connect to the laptop. My LAN is
not set up as a home group but as users with password. I am a bit
leary of homegroup. I have shares enabled on the laptop and all other
settings look correct. If I click on the name of the laptop in
Network from another computer it will search but can not find the laptop.
I ran MS network troubleshooter diagnostics on the problem laptop and
it came back with = there are two devices performing NAT and only one
device should be doing this. But none of the other devices have any
problems so whatever the problem is it must reside on this computer.
Any ideas? Thanks.
