| 633205 | 2008-01-23 12:12:00 | I have just purchased a Toshiba A90 and a Netcomm wireless modem but cannot get connected. The modem is connected with a network cable to my PC and internet works fine there. My Toshiba wireless detects the network but it cannot connect. I have set the Netcomm to reserve an IP address for portforwarding (in case that makes any difference). I am running XP on both machines. I am also running comodo firewall on my PC. | bpt2 (6653) | ||
| 633206 | 2008-01-23 12:27:00 | Have you enabled wireless in the router? If its a router? And did comodo detect the wireless? And did you add it? |

| 633207 | 2008-01-23 12:51:00 | Wireless is enabled on the router and I have allowed the laptop's mac address. I can't see where comodo adds the router but I am connecting to the net ok. | bpt2 (6653) | ||
| 633208 | 2008-01-23 13:40:00 | Have your tried disabling Comodo while using wireless and are you sure that your wireless network is in fact up and running? Can a mod also close this thread or atleast merge them, they are duplicate: pressf1.co.nz |

| 633209 | 2008-01-26 04:37:00 | The answer, I have finally discovered, is to put the same WEP code on the laptop as in the Netcomm router. This does not happen by default. Now all is well. But I still have another networking question: How can I share files on 1 PC with a specified other user only, i.e. not everyone? |

| 633210 | 2008-01-26 05:43:00 | But I still have another networking question: How can I share files on 1 PC with a specified other user only, i.e. not everyone? What version of XP is on both of them?? If its Home, I dont think you can, only Pro can. You'll need a 3rd party program. By files do you mean files that have been installed? Or files you've copied (but not installed)? |

| 633211 | 2008-01-26 11:37:00 | I have XP Pro on both computers and by files I mean folders and documents. | bpt2 (6653) | ||
| 633212 | 2008-01-26 16:36:00 | You'll have to untick safe file sharing under tools / folder options / view in my computer. To get the security tab. Then right mouse on a folder to see the security tab. Then I think all you do is add whoever / the user. And deny or allow them access. |
