Hi,

 

I am facing more or less the same problem. Although the driver (HF000X) works fine, I don't seem to be able to build up a network connection with the other computers. Is there any other software or bright minds that could help me?

Check your configuration:

 

Physical (on every machine):

 

* install identical protocol driver, for example TCP/IP

* choose only minimal different ip's

(192.168.000.00x, number x must differ on every machine)

* identical subnetmask (255.255.255.000)

* NO! internet firewall for this connection

* NO! DNS server for this connection

 

Logical (on every machine):

 

* different computer names

* identical workgroup

* identical computer description, MUST be

'MYNETWORK'

* specify a drive to share, for example C:\

(accept 'easy share' without assistent)

 

Probe the connection by pressing key 'F5'

several times while viewing the 'network folder'.

 

Check the task bar icon and box of the wlan

connection.

 

If 'packets send'was counted up,

but 'packets received' wasn't, your physical

settings are incorrect (wrong protocol etc.).

 

If 'packets send' was counted up, and 'packets

received' too, your physical settings are correct,

but logical settings differ.

 

Find nodes via windows 'SEARCH' using the exact

name of the machine you look for.

 

If you still can not find any, your share settings

are wrong or the firewall ist activated for this

connection.
