Mentor Broadband Router Help

Hi, I have recently purchased a Mentor 4 port Broadband Router. I have got
2 computer connected to it successfully sharing the internet connection. I
am trying to network the two computers together for file sharing, etc,
however I cannot ping one computer from the other when connected via the
router.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can overcome this problem.

I have tried looking for Firmware upgrades for it but found very little
information.

Thanks
Allan

Hi Allan

Are these XP machines? Do you have any firewall installed/enabled on them?
If you have I would suggest disabling them or adding your LAN subnet to the
trusted zone.

I got a firmware update by emailing the support address at the
distributor website.

Let me know if they send you anything later than V 1.01.0095 as that is
what I was sent back in April.

However I think your problem is more likely down to network
configuration on your PCs.
