okay guys, my brother just bought a laptop... and so we were like meh why not get a small little wireless portion setup to our home network... so we went out and bought a wireless router.... (its made by netgear... too lazy to go check model number... as i am all the way in the basement.. and the router is way up there on the 2nd floor) Previously we had our network setup as so....
CABLE MODEM ------------>>>>>>>>> Uplink on HUB----------->PC's.
Now we have the setup as so....
Cable MOdem---------------->Uplink on HUB---------->PC's and the Router--------->Laptop
Okay so we configured the router and all that mess... and before you knew it his laptop was online... ONly problem is this... the laptop can't see (ping to...) the computers on teh hub... and the computers on the hub can't see (ping to) the laptop on the router...
Anyone know how i can fix this little problem... NOTE: teh router only has 4 ports for computers... and we have 7 computers hooked up at the moment...
also we would like to try and not hook up anything to the router, as my brother is going to be taking it with him to college...
