I'm using a wireless network system (Airlink+) that already works successfully with the other 2 computers. I've run the XP network wizard on all the network computers. The new computer has access to the internet just fine, but it doesn't recognize the original network computers in Window Explorer. The originals don't find the new one either. I've run the XP troubleshooters and got to the point where I'm pinging the other computers on the network. All of them have IP addresses. When I ping the others from the new computer, I get responses. When I ping the new computer from the other computers, I just get timed out - no response. I figure this is the problem, but what can I do about it? Why is the pinging only one way? Any help?
