Router network configuration

[jancz3rt]

Hey guys,

I have a question to ask you. My friend just got a router and wanted to share his cable internet connection between two PCs. I set that up peace of cake. However, the PCs do not "see" each other, hence no PING. Is there any way that can be done? The internet works great on both but the two PCs are not networked together. A static IP is assigned to the cable modem and the router is set up to clone the MAC of the original PC on which it was set up.

There must be a firewall that is stopping the communication between the 2 pc's.

You have to run the Network Configuration Wizard and have the computers on the same WORKGROUP. If you did that, besure to set exeptions for the firewalls.

are you pinging the machines by name or ip address?

Heya

I was pinging to them by the IP adress.

Did you enable the dhcp server on the router?
