For less time than you spent on these messages you could have actually
run through that document. But no, you're (drum roll) an MCSE.
Awesome. Good luck to you.


You probably got a sore throat from reading the original message, it was so long. Of course, it is still obvious you didn't read through the whole thing, otherwise you wouldn't be ranting and raving over this Microsoft document, a document, which whether you like it or not, I probably know more about than you. And leave it to jealous pricks like you to get tight over someone mentioning their credentials. Bugger off.


Your original post did not indicate what you've done to troubleshoot your
LAN. A few things to check with your WRT54GS in place:

1. Is AP Isolation disabled? (Hint - that's a router feature.)
2. Are all PCs/NetPrinters in the same subnet? (IPA and mask)
3. Do all PCs have DHCP client enabled?
4. Does the router have DHCP server enabled?
5. Does anything else in your LAN have DHCP server enabled?
6. Do all PCs use the same workgroup name?
7. Can every PC ping every other PC (and the router) by IPA?
8. Can every PC ping every other PC by name?
9. Do all PCs get their DNS server address automatically?
10. Do you have one PC hardwired to the router? (You really should.)
11. Did you disable the wired NICs on the PCs to switch to WiFi?
12. Do all PCs have the same default gateway IPA (192.168.1.1)?
13. Is MAC address filtering disabled?

Note that you should not simply believe that the router as shipped has
the normal default settings; it usually does, but checking is standard
troubleshooting practice.
