Zyxel 660HW

Hello,

After some hesitation today I bought a wireless router/modem. I used to have
an Alcatel Speedtouch 510v4 but I wanted wireless network for my laptop.
Therefore I bought the Zyxel Prestige 660HW and a PCMCIA card: Zyxel ZyAir
G160. After reading the manuals I swiftly installled the hardware and made
the necessary configuration settings. This resulted in a lot of good things:

- My modem makes connection with my isp.
- All my aattached to the modem [the big ones -> wired, the laptop ->
wireless] do perfectly make connection to the internet
- All my PCs wired to the modem can see each other via the Lan

However:

- My laptop can NOT see my other PCs in my lan: I CAN ping to my
modem/router, but I CANNOT ping to the PCs wired to the modem/router.

Hmmm,... this looks like a routing problem...

As far as I can see all the network settings are fine: they are in range and
the masks are 255.255.255.0 and the gateway is set to the modem 10.0.0.138
on all PCs...

I must admit I don''t run a DHCP server, so all network settings are made
by hand. The IP addresses I use are:

pc1: 10.0.0.150
pc2: 10.0.0.151
pc3: 10.0.0.152
laptop 10.0.0.160
modem 10.0.0.138

Perhaps can anyone share some light on my problems?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Hans

It's Windows Networking problem. Make sure ALL your computers are on the
SAME 'workgroup' and have file sharing enabled (individual folders if you
like).

If you have a software firewall, check its settings to allow for file and
print sharing and/or place all of your networked pc's in the trusted zone.

Hello,

Thank you for your quick response.

On all PCs no firewall software is running.
In addition I can't even PING to another computer so windows file sharing /
workgroup should not be the issue.
[two pcs are running debian linux]

Somehow the ip packages are stopped at the router/modem.

Perhaps any other ideas?

Thanks again,

Hans

Eureka!

Finally after hours of trying and searching on the internet I found a
description about a similar problem with a prestige 650.

The solution is to go via telnet to the router [not the web interface!].
Go to general setup and make sure the bridge option is marked YES.

It now works like a dream...

Thank you all!

Cheers,

Happy Hans
