Re: XP Home PC hardwired to router and XP Pro Laptop wireless through 2Wire router...

Also, the router has a built in software firewall which it says is an
internet only firewall. It will allow me to add applications to the
allowed list, but these seem to be various games only.

Even so, if it were blocking the laptop, would this not still happen if
the laptop were hardwired? When physically connected the network is
fine and dandy.

It has got to be a wireless issue hasn't it?

Makes me wish I hadn't started.
