When I connected with my new Netgear WGR614v10, it seemed to take over and will not allow windows to form a wireless group so that I can share my pronter. I have an HP Officejet 8500 A909a. I have tried connecting with a cable to the router and tried connecting to my wired computer like I did with my lynksys...but when i try to check share, it always deletes it when I save. I have used all the WEPS and the stronger wireless....I am going bonkers! Netgear usb wireless, wont let you see available wireless connections either. My set up is an office HP that is hard wired to the netgear router (cable modem) a lap top in the kitchen that used to be part of the share group and a new (older computer) in the livingroom connect to my HDTV) I would like to share files and printer but it wont let me. HELP1 person needs an answerI do too

HiA Wireless Router is a combo unit that contains Routing circuits, switch, and Wireless Access Point.The Routing part can effect the Internet connection. however in configured correctly the switch/access point cannot block a local network.If the computers can use the Internet via the Router, they are already on a Local network, and sharing files and printers is a matter of configuring the individual computers.As for you printer. Your printer is an All In One unit and it works best if it configured via the vendor’s software.If it is a Network ready printer, plug it to the a LAN port on the Router and install the HP software on each network computer.In general.Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions.General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trustedWindows XP File Sharing - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304040Printer Sharing XP -http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/honeycutt_july2.mspxWindows Native Firewall setting for Sharing XP -http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista (Not need for XP-SP3) - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120When done hard reboot all network computers and the Router..Jack, MVP - Networking.
