Local network issue FREEBOX HD

Thank you for your response, argaunotes!!!

But where can I configure the "infrastructure" and "shared" types??

I don't particularly know Free, but generally, you just need to go to the browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc.) and type the address:

http://192.168.0.1

This leads to a screen where you need to enter the username and password

If they are not provided with Free, you should try with:
Username: admin or administrator
Password: admin or password or passwd

Good luck ;-))

what do you mean by not being visible on the local network?
in network favorites/ microsoft network?
it's better to forget that and connect directly to shares.
if the 2 PCs can ping each other (be careful of the XP firewall that blocks pings by default).
you access network shares by: start>>run>>\\ other's ip address.
file sharing

Hello,

The connection on the FREEBOX must be of the "infrastructure" and "shared" type;
It is very likely that it is set to "ad-hoc".

Good luck ;-)

I recently had a discussion here with someone who had a Wi-Fi router that allowed outbound communications, but a setting prevented communications between PCs.
However, it was not a fbx.
And no one has mentioned this being a fbx until now.
It must be some firewall setting somewhere.
Here’s the story I’m talking about: wifi network problem#2006 09 18%2011%3A34%3A48

a physical problem, no, impossible.
The PCs would not have access to the net.
Can the PCs ping the fbx?
There must be some filtering somewhere.
By the way, what IP addresses do you have on your crossover cable connection?
And... when you connected them in a network, you said, through a switch, what addresses did you set (without connecting to the fbx)?
Do you have the IPX protocol installed?

Well,
it's not going well.
you shouldn't have the same IP network on 2 (active) interfaces at the same time.
but the problem is that it's in the situation where it shouldn't work that it's running: you can't have 192.168.0.X on the crossover cable and on the wifi connection at the same time.
the crossover cable should be on 192.168.1.x
by the way, what are the masks?
however, on the network with the switch ... why does it stop working when you connect the fbx .. it doesn't make sense at all with the best intentions.
I ask you if you have ipx installed because tcpip is blocked by the firewalls, but not ipx, it doesn't go through the internet, but it works in a private network on the switch (Windows shares) and over the crossover cable.
to install ipx, add the protocol in the network connection properties.

First,
right-click on your computer, properties, general: change the workgroup name to whatever you want (no spaces). Do the same on your second PC and then restart them.
I recommend manually configuring the IP addresses of both computers. For example, the first one 192.168.0.10 and the second one 192.168.0.11.
Regarding the ping, if it doesn't respond, disable the Windows firewall, and if you are using NORTON as your antivirus, then disable the NORTON firewall.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
