I think I’m missing something simple here?

Hi everyone my name is Robert and I think I’m missing something simple here?

Here is what I am looking to achieve.
3 pc’s lets call them
1) Main
2) Child-1
3) Child-2

Main = Internet access, sees both Child-1 and child-2
Child-1 = Internet access sees child-2, blocked to main
Child-2 = Internet access sees child-1, blocked to main

I want to access the Internet, and be able to retrieve or upload files to both Child 1 and 2, but I don’t want Child –1 or 2 to have access to my machine in any way shape or form.

Set up Spec
Main = is a Window 2000 machine with all service packs (4) wired via RJ45 port of a (NEW) Belkin ADSL modem with built in wireless router (F5D7630UK4A)
Child-1 = is a Windows 98se machine this has never been on the net and has been used as a games (Sims) consul. This has recently been equipped with a Cnet CNWL-311 Wireless PCI Adapter.
Child-2 = is a Windows 98se machine this has never been on the net and has been used as a games (Sims) consul. This has recently been equipped with a Cnet CNWL-311 Wireless PCI Adapter

Here is what I have done so far.

(For here in all work has been on Child-1 I figured that once I had mastered Child-1, Child-2 would be copy procedure.


Main = has full Internet access, router set up no problem but unable to ping Child-1, unable to see child-1 on network. In fact unable to see network.
Child-1 can ping router, but that is it, shows no network at all when you try Internet access, it just cannot find any way of linking to router.

Hope this is not to long, and happy to comply with any requests, I am sure this is going to be an of course why did I not check that first scenario.

A Blood orange and a bag of nuts (well it’s nearly Christmas) to anyone who help’s me solve this problem

can you try updating the drives for the wireless pci cards?
try resetting the router?

Thanks for your reply

Router has been reset (Factory Settings) and has also had the latest Firmware installed, wireless PCI cards have had drivers updated direct from the CNet website
