On the subject of routing, I recently setup a wireless router using a RoamAbout card (http://ii.net/~mpot/wireless/router.cgi). I found I could happily map drives from my Win95 wireless laptop to any PCs on my wired network, but could not map drives the other way! The Win95 laptop could happily ping any of the PCs on my wired network, but failed to map any drives. Eventually, I managed to get it working by configuring an lmhosts file on the Win95 laptop. See http://ii.net/~mpot/wireless/router.cgi#browse for details Cheers, Martin. > Glen, > I have been looking for a solution to a similar problem.
