Can't see other computers using Westell Versalink 327

The computers wired to the router can't see the computers connected via WiFi and vice-versa.  It is possible to mount a shared folder as a drive in either direction, but the shares don't show up in Windows Explorer.  I think this is because the router separates the wifi and wired connections somehow.  Anyone figure out how to get around this?

I was already able to see shared folders by mounting them as drives.  I wasn't able to see shared folders in Windows Explorer.  But I have figured out how, finally.  I found I had to log in from the wi-fi connected machines to the ethernet-connected machine.  So it doesn't seem that the problem was some kind of separation of the two kinds of connections by the router.

  • How come I can't see other computers anymore?

    I used to be able to see other computers in my area, in the finder window, now I can't anymore. On any of my Apple computers.

    Have you enabled/played with the System Preferences -> Security -> Firewall?
    I didn't touch it, it's the same settings as it was before.
    Are the other computers in your home? Are they neighbors? Office co-workers?
    I have two other computers in my home, and they used to be listed, now they're not. Also when I take my Macbook Pro to school, I use to get a list of about 15 other computers in one of my classes, now I get none listed.
    How are these other computers connected? Wifi (make/model of base station), Ethernet (switch, hub, router), over the Internet (cable, DSL, ...)?
    All Wi-Fi

  • Can't see other computers on network through wireless/wired OK

    Our wireless clients that connect through our AP541N cannot see other computers on the network.  They can ping other computers by IP and host name and access the internet OK.  Mapped network drives can be connected initially but are very unreliable and always end up disconnecting.  Restarting the computer does not help.  When these computers are wired they see the network as expected.  Does anyone know why my wireless network would behave differently then the wired?  The wired and wireless networks are on the same VLAN.  The wireless clients are all Windows 7 systems. Thanks.

    Hi Andy,
    Thank you for posting. Go to Wireless Network Setup (VAPs) and see if Station Isolation is enabled for the SSID in question. From the Help menu:
    When Station Isolation is disabled, wireless clients can communicate with one another normally by sending traffic through the AP.
    When Station Isolation is enabled, the AP blocks communication between wireless clients on the same VAP. The AP still allows data traffic between its wireless clients and wired devices on the network, across a WDS link, and with other wireless clients associated with a different VAP.

  • Can't 'see" other computers on my home network

    I just added a third Mac to my home network. We already had a G4 running OSX.2 and an iBook running OSX.4. I've now added a G4 running OSX.4, but the new computer doesn't "see" the other computers in the network list.
    On the first G4, if I browse the network (by pressing apple-K) I see the other two computers, the iBook and the new G4.
    On the iBook, if I open a finder window and click the "Network" icon, I get the other two computers listed.
    But on the new G4, if I open a finder window and select the Network icon, I get three folders, "Applications", "Library", and "Users". And these three folders are apparently empty.
    I DO have internet connection, so the connection is okay. And if I press apple-K to get a server list, and type in the IP address of one of the other two computers, I can access them that way. But why don't they show up on the Network list? What do I have configured wrong? Obviously, I CAN use the "apple-k" connect-to-servers-by-typing-in-the-IP-address method, but it's not as "nice" as having them just show up in the network window.
    I'm sure it's something simple that I missed, and I'll probably feel like an idiot when someone points it out, but fire away folks!

    make sure you have your automounter running. Do this in a terminal to make sure:
    ps aux|grep -i automount
    If it is not running, you may have turned it off using some utility (bad idea). It's controlled by the NFS startup item and should be enabled so the OSX API can listen for traffic on port 548, which is the Apple Fileshare Protocol port of register.
    if this is confusing, I can give more detail when I arrive at my home.

  • Wireless Router can't see other computers on network

    I have a home network set up as follows:
    Cable modem connected to a VOIP modem then it is connected to a 8 port switch. 
    I have 2 computers and a Linksys wireless router connected to the switch. 
    The 2 computers can see each other on the network. 
    When I connect to the wireless router I can access the internet but cannot see the other two computers on the network. 
    When I connect to the switch via a wire I can see the network. 
    Is the wireless router blocking my access to the network? 
    What can I do to be able to see the network through the wireless router?
    Thanks,

  • I bought 2 mac book pros and have time capsule connected to router. Both computers can see time capsule but i can not see other computers.

    I bought 2 mac book pros. At home i already had a network with a timecapsule connected to a router and a windows xp lap top connected to it. When i turned both macs on i was able to see the time capsule and the windows xp computer HOWEVER neither mac could see each other......any help would be appreciated.
    Nick

    Thanks Linc ......you were right on the money. Your help has been awsome. I spent 3 hours last night doing stuff with out any solutions. May I ask you another question if you have the time and patience please. My orriginal setup was 2 windows laptops with XP on them connected with a timecapsule attached to a router. Hence the time capsule made a wireless signal aswell as being an external hard drive. On one of the laptops i have a printer attached to it which was shared so that the other computer could print documents through the network however the computer attached to the printer has to be on. Do you know what i have to do so these new 2 mac book pros can print to that printer? Thanks again for all your previous help. Nick

  • VMWare Fusion - Cannot see other computers in the Workgroup

    For some reason I'm unable to see or access other machines in my Windows Workgroup from within Fusion 1.1.3. Alternatively, I cannot see or access the VM from other WinXP machines in my workgroup. The other WinXP machines in my workgroup CAN at least ping the VM. I cannot ping anything outside of the VM other than OS X and my gateway/router. And yes, I've tried disabling the firewall on both the VM and other Windows machines in my Workgroupto no avail.
    I am currently using a Bridged network configuration in Fusion. If I open an explorer window in the VM and type in the UNC path to OS X I can access it, but not other Windows machines on my network... why?
    Perhaps someone can at least confirm whether they can access/see other computers in their Workgroup from Fusion?
    Maybe this simply isn't possible under Fusion and I'm just going around in circles here...
    Thanks

    How did you resolve this? I am about ready to toss my month-old macbook out the window over this.

  • My G5 can't locate other computers on the network

    It's weird it can find the internet and networked printers but NO other computers at all. Furthermore other computers on the network have no problem finding each other or this specific computer.
    Any ideas?
    There are both macs, windows, and a linux based NAS on this network.

    It most certainly does explain why one wouldn't be able to see others, if it's not configured as part of a workgroup or the automounter isn't running, this single machine will not be able to mount on demand, those shares which are advertised on other hosts.
    Macs are not complicated and as I see by your signon, you know something of a root account. I would think you'd feel right at home on a mac under it's covers I myself have been a real Unix sysadmin for 18 years and played on all types of enterprise hardware, believe me, Macs are easy to fiddle with. Most of the time, when someone can't see other machines using the network browser,it's because some tool disabled NFS. Check your /etc/hostconfig for the automounter line and also check in the /Library/StartupItems and make sure NFS gets hit when the box starts.
    I know if I kill my automounter, all the network mounting stops.

  • How do you use Time Machine to restore a specific users account?  I can't do it from the user screen because I am not allowed.  I can't do it from the admin because I can't see other users in Time machine.

    I can't restore my user account from the users screen because I get an alert that Mac OS needs something.  I can't restore in TimaeMachine from the Admin screen because I can't see other users home folders.  What can I do?

  • WIFI on 2504. Users can't see any computers in "My network places".

    Hello. I'm using 2504 CISCO controller and three AIR-CAP2602I-R-K9 access points. So I organized simple WIFI network with AES encryption. Users can easily connect to the proper SSID and after put a login have Internet access.But they just can't see any computers or shared folders on servers in "My Network Places". If I connect any workstation by wire I haven't this problem. So the issue appears only during WIFI access to the LAN.
    Please advise, what can I change in 2504 settings.
    Thank you.

    The WLC doesn't block this unless P2P blocking is enabled. The easiest way to test is to create an open SSID and map that WLAN to an existing wired Vlan. Doesn't tweak the WLAN except for making it wide open. Them associate your wireless client to that new SSID and see if they see the resources.
    That is the configuration I was telling you about that you had a screen shot of. As long as that is disabled, you should be able to see the resources.

  • Network How do I see other computers on My wireless Network?

    Sorry everyone very new on Mac. I was trying to figure out how I could see what other computers were on my network. The network hub right now is on my windows pc. I can see all the pc's there including the Mac. My question is. Is there anything in MAC that allows you to see other computers??
    Thanks,
    Jim

    are you referring to the log which used to be in the previous admin utility and which disappeared with theis latest update? I am looking myself. Luckily I have an old Macbook with the previous version of admin utility on it.
    There is always the possibility of restoring your extreme to factory defaults and backing out of this latest release. I'm thinking of reverting myself.

    How can I see which computers (computer name) Creative Cloud is installed on?

    Hi Arno ten Hagen,
    To check for activation you need to go to all the machines in which you have installed CC apps, launch any of the CC software, go to help and you will see the email address mentioned by which you are logged in to that machine.

  • Can i see who is using my wifi

    can i see who is using my wifi????

    We can't help you, you will need to call a local PC/Mac tech to come in and secure your network, likely they will recommend a newer faster router that has better security and fresher firmware updates.
    Plus they can set your routers channel(s) to be far away from others in the area that might be causing your problems.
    It's a shame but a lot of the older routers were shipped to be easy to set up by the user, but are severly lacking in security so anyone in the neighborhood can use it or hack it.
    Print out my guide and ask the comptuer tech to apply those strick standards to your router or new one, you'll be secure after that.
    Even the Comcast router/modems are insecure now despite enabling WPA2(AES) because they don't use enough random characters and only numbers, which is easy to crack on any computer with a decent graphics card.
    It would take a massive botnet several hundred years to brute force my network.
