| 713822 | 2008-10-22 00:25:00 | I have an XP PC (IP 192.168.30.2) connected to a V300 router which has a LAN IP of 192.168.30.1. Th erouter connects to a wireless modem router via its WAN IP 192.168.1.20. The wireless router has am IP 192.168.1.1. How can I share my PC files with a wireless laptop? |

| 713823 | 2008-10-22 01:12:00 | erouter The spelling just brings to mind an entire different meaning... :banana Would it be safe to assume the IPs are static? Right-click the folder you desire to share, click "Properties". Click the tab "Sharing" and follow on from there. Cheers :) |

| 713824 | 2008-10-22 01:23:00 | To start, you need to test if the laptop can talk to the PC. Bring up a dos command box on the laptop and see if you can ping the pc..ie: ping 192.168.30.2, if you get a reply you are half way there. Next you need a shared folder on the pc for the files you want to share, as explained above. Next, confirm the both pc and laptop are on the same workgroup ( check control panel>system icon and computer name tab). then, the easiest way is to use the search function from the laptop and search for the pc name on your network, once found double click and you will see the shared folder.. good luck... |

| 713825 | 2008-10-22 03:22:00 | The problem I seem to get is that I cannot browse the wireless modem when I connect the PC to the V300. What IP configuration would work best here: PC ? V300 LAN ? V300 WAN ? Fixed IP? NB5 Wireless router ? The V300 is connected via the WAN to the NB5 Wireless router. Is there anywhere to read up on all connecting to routers into a network? The V300 is used for VOIP Thanks |

You have lost me there....you browse the network for PC's, not browse modems, they give connectivity only.....can you ping the pc from the laptop? Did you follow the instructions i gave? |

| 713827 | 2008-10-22 07:45:00 | The laptop connected via wireless router won't be able to see the XP PC. The IP traffic from the laptop uses 192.168.1.1 as a gateway and would try to find the 192.168.30.0 subnet on the WAN side of the NB5, of course it won't succeed as it isn't there. | Spyware (14253) | ||
| 713828 | 2008-10-22 07:57:00 | I use "Network Magic". You install it on each machine and it makes things really easy and automatic. They give 1 weeks free trial. | CliveM (6007) | ||

| 713830 | 2008-10-22 09:09:00 | You could try this (no guarantees for success and best if you back up each routers config first). On the V300 router add a static route to the NB5 wireless router: Route is: - address 192.168.1.0 - mask 255.255.255.0 - gateway 192.168.1.1 And on the NB5 wireless router add the reverse: Route is: - address 192.168.30.0 - mask 255.255.255.0 - gateway 192.168.30.1 Again backup each routers config first before trying. |

| 713831 | 2008-10-22 09:49:00 | How do I set up the static route? Is that the WAN address of the V300? | bpt2 (6653) | ||
