Hi Gang,

I currently have a LAN in my house, I have a NAT Router hooked up to my cable modem which is also my DHCP server.

All wired machine are automaticly assigned a 192.168.0.* address all machines can see each other and I am able to share files and print between machines with no problem.

I have added a Belkin 802.11b wireless network into my house (got it for Christmas!) I have 2 laptops which can access to the net no problem. The Belkin has its own DHCP server and assigns my wireless connections to 192.168.2.* addresses.

I can ping the wired computers at the 192.168.0.* addresses however in my network neighborhood I can not see any of the wired machines.

Any ideas how I can get my wireless machines to be able to do file sharing with my wired machines? My son did a report for school on a laptop and he wants to print it, the only way to do it now is email it to myself on a wired machine then print, but I should not have to do this.

Any ideas?

Can't you change the Belkin to assign 192.168.0.*?

Can you turn off the Belkin DHCP so it isn't used? So that it will use the DHCP of the Router?
