WL110 Connection Problem

[Steve_191]

Using Ipaq with WL110 PCmia card to Router ( Aceess Point) Can access Win Me and Win 95 computers thru Pocket Lan, but even though can connect to XP Home computer ( which is hard wired to router) cannot access the folders or files that are set up for sharing . On the other computers I have easy access. Someone if you have seen this please help.

XP does not support netbeui by default. If that is how your other devices are communicating then you need to turn it on on the XP. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;301041&

Even if it is on but is on a different interface of the router the router will block the netbeui broadcasts unless you either bridge the ports together or use what Cisco calls IP Helper-Address to convert the broadcasts to unicasts so they can pass the router.

You may also be able to get it to work using TCP/IP and not netbeui if you add the other computers to the LMHOSTS file of each PC.
