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,
Jethro

  • 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 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 local computers in network neighborhood anymore

    Hello,
    I bought a WRT610N on Friday to replace my WRT54G and while it is running great I have a small issue.
    If I go to browse my local network, I don't see a list of computers like I used to with the WRT54G
    If I type \\computername then I can access the shares on each computer as well as be able to \\computername\c$
    I can ping all of them and yes all of them are on the same workgroup as well as the router itself.
    What setting I need disabled in the router so I can "see" my computers in network neighborhood
    Thanks

    Are you able to access the computer using the ip address of that particular computer....? Try that and check if you can access the computer using the ip address instead of the name.

  • Have to disable Wireless MAC filter to see other computers

    I have two Windows 7 machines connected by wireless-N to my WAG160N. I frequently find that, although both computers can see the network, they can't see each other. I can temporarily solve this problem by disabling, and then re-enabling, the Wireless MAC filter. Any suggestions welcome
    Solved!

    Unfortunately just leaving MAC filtering off doesn't help. I have to turn it off and then it on again every time. As soon as I turn it on again the other computer becomes visible. Here are my settings:

  • 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.

  • XP/Pro box doesn't see other computers on network after running CiscoConnect on it

    Got a new E4200 on September 13 to provide internet and networking to a small business network. 
    There are 2 wired computers, one an XP/pro and the other a Win 7/64 bit.  Both worked straight out of the box in that  both had access to each others' files after plugging them into the E4200.  Two other wireless computers were connected using CiscoConnect, one a Vista and the other a Win 7, and all was fine.  All computers were able to see each others' file. Also managed to get a wireless Canon printer working even though CiscoConnect wasn't able to find it. 
    After I realized I didn't run CiscoConnect on the XP, I did so using the USB key created on the Win7 box and the result was that the XP box doesn't see any of the other computers although all the other computers can see the XP files.  After uninstalling CiscoConnect on the XP and rebooting, the XP can't access the other computer files but it can still access the internet and the wireless Canon printer that CiscoConnect can't find.  Rebooting or powering off/on the router didn't change this state.
    Would appreciate any ideas in getting the XP back into the network.
    Firmware Version:
    1.0.02 build 13  May 24, 2011

    Update on above problem:
    Performed a System Restore on the XP and partial networking functionality was restored.  The XP box now sees the Vista and the XP Explorer can see all computers under  the Workgroup.  Probing the Win 7 computers from XP's explorer the XP returns the following: message
    \\Win7a is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resourc. Contact the a...
    This message doesn't mean much to me as I have limited networking experience but somebody here might understand this clue.

  • Can't find other computers on network

    Hi. Every once in a while (aka, 1/4 times) I can't see any other computers on my network. I am using a MacBook (with Tiger, of course), my brother has a a G5 iMac with Panther, there's an XP PC, and a win98 PC on the network. I access the network wirelessly and everyone else is wired to the router.
    What happens is I that I go to the network tab in finder and wait but no computers show up, not even the other mac. I restart and that usually fixes it. The problem happens at totally random times.
    The problem also occurs on the iMac, with the same behaviour.
    Any ideas about what is happening?
    -Eric

    I don't think that's it. Remember, it also happens to the iMac -- and it's wired to the router. When it happens the iMac isn't even able to see the other PC's, which are also wired.
    This problem also occured before I got the MacBook -- it happened on the iMac. And at that time we only had a wired router. So, I was trying to access a PC with XP over a wired router with the iMac and it still happened. So, I'm guessing it's a problem with OSX (and not just Tiger because the iMac has Panther).
    Oh and by the way, we currently use a wireless-g router by Trendnet (model number TEW-432BRP). It has 4 wired ports for ethernet cables and an antenna for wireless.

  • Canon MX860 Can't See My Computers On Network

    Hi All,
    I recently updated to Snow Leopard and all updates have been installed as of 11-16-09. I have a Canon MX860 connected wirelessly to local network. I can print from the computers, but when I try scanning over the network from the Canon, it is not seeing the computers with snow leopard??? Any ideas. Thanks.
    Cheers,
    ScKaSx

    Hello ScKaSx and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    When you say that the Canon cannot see the SL Mac's, do you mean you are trying to send the document to the Mac by pressing the Scan button on the MX860?
    If so, then you need to ensure that you have the correct version of MP Navigator, Canon IJ Network Tool and MP Navigator Opener installed.
    If this is not what you mean, then could you give some more information.

  • WRT300N - Can't share other computers in Network

    I have three computers connected to my network all using Windows XP O/S. When I try to access one of the other computers from the desktop home computer I receive a message that I do not have Administrative Priviledges. Cannot locate the other computers in My Network Places (same message) and cannot Ping other computers as well. If I look at My Network Places on the other two machines I can see the Linksys WRT300N router and can Ping 192.168.1.1. Windows Firewall is off. Security is Norton. Must have settings wrong somewhere but do not know where to start. I want to be able to share files and printers (sharing turned on in Windows) but at the end of my rope trying to figure this out. Can someone help?

    Firs of all you need to disable Norton antivirus on all the computers. And make sure all the computers are in the same workgroup. Click Here and follow the Instruction how to enable file sharing between your computers.

  • Why can I see other peoples' WiFi networks but not my own?

    This is a problem that started when an engineer came to replace our TV's set top box as well as our router a few weeks ago. I'll run through everything in quick bullet-point form...
    -My flatmates are able to see and connect to our network with no issues at all on their XP laptops.
    I, on the other hand, can not see or connect to our network at all. However, I am able to see other WiFi networks.
    -Days of rebooting and replugging the router, my iMac and AirPort card prove fruitless.
    -Throughout all this, the router is sat on top of the set top box, which is sat on top of the TV. I move the router down so its sat next to the TV and a plant. I'm able to see and connect to our network with no issues.
    -Three weeks later, the problem has returned. I can't see our network but my flatmates aren't affected.
    -Thinking it may just be poor reception in my room, I set up my Mac in the front room a couple of feet away from the router. I detect other networks, but still not my own.
    -More unplugging and rebooting later, hallelujah, I can see and connect to our network. I take the Mac back to my room and try from there. No luck. The familiar XBoxLive8973498374, BT-HomeHub8934897, TalkTalk439847 (etc) and Sofia networks come up in my networks list as usual but not our own SpeedTouch459873439847 (etc).
    We have a Thomson ST 585 router and I have an iMac G4 with the original AirPort card. Short of buying a new router, does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix it?

    This is what MacStumbler sees when my Mac is situated a couple of feet from the router in the front room:
    http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3051/2308676274_00f5eba51c.jpg?v=0
    Our network is the one labelled SpeedTouch. As you can see, my AirPort antenna seems to be working perfectly. However, the SpeedTouch connection (and only the Speedtouch connection) would be lost intermittently for several minutes at a time.
    This is what MacStumbler sees when my Mac is in my room:
    http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3184/2308733380_dcdc2faccd.jpg?v=0
    The SpeedTouch signal strength is obviously not as strong but still reasonable. I don't seem to have any issues anymore; I can see, connect and stay connected to our network with no real problem - but I haven't changed any settings on the router.

  • 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.

  • 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.
