I have a home office with two PC's wired to a Dlink DI-614+ Broadband Router. Also connected (upstairs) is a PC with a wireless connection.

The wireless PC connects fine to the internet via this router, yet refuses to connect to the other wired PCs on the LAN. No matter what we do it cannot see the other PCs in Network Neighbourhood despite having the same workgroup name and all necessary network software (TCPIP etc). It is running XP Home. The other PCs are running XP Pro and Win2000.

We have tried everything to get this working. I'm starting to wonder if this model router simply does not connect a wireless PC to a LAN, just to the internet?

any help is much appreciated.

see if there is new firmware for either device and it might be because of xp home, but that's probably not it

Consider using the D-Link 624RevC, I have it and am about .. 200 feet from my mom's PC and it works fine. Considering you don't have a lot of shit in-between your LAN and the Wireless, it should be fine.

You may want to buy an external Antenna aswell, those help.

If not, check firmware and update, update, update.
