Wireless laptop shows home network pcs and then drops them?
Used to be able to access my home network pcs and shared files but recently it shows the other pcs on the network for just a few seconds and then they disappear. I can access internet still so wireless is working. I tried adding to the home network again but the laptop still does not see the pcs. The other pcs see the laptop. Any ideas? The only recent major change to my setup was a wireless printer a few weeks ago. Thanks for any assistance.

- I think you have a personal firewall activated. Do you use Norton Antivirus? If so, turn off the personal firewall (if it is installed on both pc's, turn both off). If you have any other antivirus software installed, check for a firewall and turn it off. If you are not on a router (it will block attacks to your non-routable addresses {192.168.1.x}), then you will have to open a port on your firewall to pass data between the pc's. Let me know if I can help.
- if you just complete a few quick tasks on this site they'll send you a sony laptop, completely free of charge!!
