First off, I've googled. Repeatedly. No answers.
Here's the setup: Two computers running XP Home and 1 computer running Ubuntu 7.10. My computer and the linux box can talk, no sweat. However, my wife's computer is being, well, pissy. It won't connect to either machine. I've ran the XP home network wizard on both.
Wifi router is Linksys, as are all three of the wireless NICs. Yes, the server is currently on wifi as well. This will be remedied later.
Subnet mask is the same on all three computers. Wife's 'puter is running ZoneAlarm, with the home network range (192.168.1.100 to 149) in the trusted zone.
The two XP boxes were able to see each other on the network until I decided to do a fresh install of XP. Now her machine is being a loner, for lack of a better term.
So what's causing this? I'm thinking the culprit is ZA, and just uninstalled it from her machine.
One other thing: for some reason her box isn't showing a 1394 Net Adapter connection. Also, her linksys software has been bitchy, and the windows wireless network has been doing the work as of late.
