Thanks to all. It was just the computers' firewalls that kept messing it up.
If I turn them off, all is fine.
With the Belkin Pre-N wireless router, with one computer hooked up via
ethernet cable and two computers on usb wireless adapters, is it safe to
turn off the computers' firewalls and rely on whatever may be in that
router? Can I adjust what the router's firewall can do?
Can I continue to use my computers' Zone Alarm firewalls if I just make some
specific changes to options?
I wasn't using any of Win xp's firewalls in any of the computers, just Zone
Alarm.
Thanks for any advice.
