I can't get my 3 PCs connected throught NETGEAR WGR614 v7

[supermank01]

Hi all,
can anyone help me with this issue? I've got 3 computers, a DSL modem and a NETGEAR WGR614 v7
wireless router.

Two PCs physically connected to the DSL router, and a wireless notebook. everything is configured fine in the router. All 3 PC's can surf the internet.



Each PC has it's IP static
192.168.1.2 - Main PC running Vista Ultimate
192.168.1.3 - Son's laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium
192.168.1.4 - Other son's PC running XP pro

Let's say my LAN Gateway IP is 192.168.x.x
All 3 PC's can ping this IP

I set port forwarding in the router for port 80 to point to 192.168.1.2

All the 3 PCs names and IPs are shown in "Attached Devices" whithin router configuration page

from Vista Ultimate PC I can ping fine my LAN Gateway; I can Ping the other PC that is physically connected to router; but I can't ping the wireless PC.

more strange is that I can't ping the Vista Ultimate PC within the PC itself, "192.168.1.2" and other PCs can't ping the IP too.


I can ping the loopback, localhost, and 127.0.0.1 but not the attributed IP: "192.168.1.2"


disabling IPv6 does no changes.


the router shows that the IP is attributed to Vista Ultimate PC, the Vista Ultimate PC is connected to intenet, from Vista Ultimate PC I can connect to my work Terminal Server.



when I ping Vista Ultimate PC within the PC itself, I get request timed out


I would like these 3 PCs be able to connect to each other, share files between each PCs, Ping each PCs without any problem.


Any help would be appreciated.

Hi James,

sorry for not getting back to you earlier

You have done quite a bit of research and seem to know the problem very well.

Are you still having this problem?
