yea this should work as you wish. Sounds like you need to adjust a setting
in the router to allow other users on the LAN to access each other. I'm not
familiar with your hardware, so you might need to have a look at the
interface and see what there is to see as it were, although I would think
the default setting would be to allow this..otherwise whats the point of
calling it a LAN?. Also, have you enabled file and print sharing on your
computers. You'll need this enabled in order for them to see/use each other.
You might try creating a shared folder on each machine and try to mount a
drive to it using IP address instead of using the browse list. eg ..go to
command prompt on Computer1 and type net use Z: \\192.168.0.23\myshare
should mount Z: drive to a folder you've shared on Computer2 name "myshare"
(all I want is myshare...but i'm getting distracted.)
