    Hi All, I have a Linksys Wirless G router I want to use as a Hub, so I have given it the new ip address of

    192.168.1.100 & switched off DHCP, NAT, & wireless access but left the sid broadcastig.

    I have a 30mtr cat5 cable running from the Linksys port 4 back to the cisco gateway port 4.
    I have the 2 other pc's with static IP's 192.168.1.25 (running XP 32 Bit) & 26 (running win 7 64bit) connected to

    ports 3 & 2 with patch cables to the Linksys.

    My main machine is getting it's IP address 192.168.1.11 (running Win 7 64bit) direct from the cisco box on DHCP via

    a 30mtr run of cat5 cable.

    My main Router is a Cisco Model DPC/EPC2425 is set to 192.168.1.1 and is the gateway.

    I can access the internet from all machines on my home network and all machines can be ping'ed scussfully.

    All PC's are in the same WORKGROUP.

    My Problem is this:

    Why can I see 192.168.25 XP machine on my network?

    All machines c:\ drives are set to shared as is the printer.

    I've tried using a DHCP address no luck, I've tried to map a drive no luck.


    Any help would be appericated.


    Thanks Whacker.
