Want to secure Shared external harddrive.

[Jonas Wauters]

Like I said before: it is a small home network only used inside our home. (But white detailed info about a company sow it needs to be well protected.)
The problem is: I'm just 16 and 3 monts ago I only knew the basics of computering.
I'm learning fast but I'm still a beginner.
Sow would you please explain me how I can collect the info you needed.

For the IP addr: I do believe that you'r only trying to help but this is a public site...
And the beginning of all the IP addr I've seen sow far are all the same if Not I'll tell you.
Is that good enough to solve the prob?

The router of Telenet is controlled by telenet (the company who provides us Internet and digital tv.)
Sow The router of telnet is only 2 Internet connections 1 for our Wir Internet and one for our Digital TV.
The Wir Internet connection is then through a cable connected to our Linksys router.

Your last post tells everything I want to know.
I am not interested about the IPs that the ISP gave to you. Just about the local area network IPs. For example I won't tell you my public IP, that was given by my ISP; but I can tell you without any problem that my internal network uses IPs from 192.168.54).

If only the wireless access point and the router Linksys are in your network than your problem is located here. Most probably on the access point.

You can't have 2 identical IP's in your local network, unless some routers are involved. I hope you just made an error when you told that. Please check. If it is as you said (two or more devices with the same IP) and no error messages are thrown, than you have 2 separate (distinct) networks.

I did not asked you the most basic question (shame on me): do all computers respond at ping command, no matter if they are attached to access point or simply to the wired router? Or asked diferently: can you ping the router Linksys (the wired one) from any of the computers? Pay attention to firewall rules on each computer and the security settings on router, they may deny your ping packets.
Do you have a wired switch connected to your wired router? What model?

Here Is what I know:
I think that they are indeed two separated Networks See Attach.
My internal IP is 192.168.92.1 for both the router and the access point.
I'm beginning to realize that that is my problem.
Isn't it?
But how can I change that?
And wouldn't that have any effect on the Linksys security program?
and Yes both the router and the access point respond well on a ping command.

Thanks for helping

Looks like I have to make 1 network of the 2 that now exists.
But how?
Should I buy a new router to connect those 2?
Thanks in advance

Sorry for my late answer... I had not time yesterday or today to re-read the wir2 manual.
No, you do not need another router, you simply need to use the same ssid for both the wireless router and wireless access point.
I will find the informations and I will tell you what I find.

Thanks

I'm trying to find info on the web about how I'm suppos to set the SSID of WIR2 but I can't find anything.
After the exams I'll be able to search if there is any Book that came with the access point.
I don't realy know the name of it.
