Hi, I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with this. I'm a home school mom and I had a wired network last school year but about a month a go we had lighting strike our house and lost our computers through the network. So we are back up and running and are trying to set up a wireless network. I have 3 computers all of them show that they are connected to the wireless connection. When I check my network places it shows my computer and my daughters. It does let me access the shared files on her computer; I also can access her schoolwork. She can access my shared stuff on my computer. These are both desktops. The problem is my sons laptop computer. It shows that he is connected to the network. He can see my daughter, my daughter can see him, but my computer does not see his at all. In 'view network computers' he can see my computer but when he clicks it it says path not found/your not allowed access. He has no school work on this computer as of right now. Anyone have any ideas? I do have a firewall on my computer but it is allowing the wireless network to work. Also, what protection do I need on this network? The router is a netgear and has a built in firewall. Any suggestions? Also, does someone know why the SQL server keeps wanting to act as a server and wants internet access? Thanks in advance for all the help.
