I have no clue why, but a lot of times, my home network (with a Linksys router) keeps on failing, like how I cannot print networkly. The computer that I keep all the printers connected to is continuously on. I do not have a defined solution as I just randomly power cycle things and hope for the best.

Interestingly enough, Network Magic detects everything, but Windows does not.

Any ideas as to why this happens and a definitive solution?

You know the computer thats always on restart that and switch your router of for 10 seconds.

Also whats the model of your router? A WRT54G by any chance. I will post more once i know what model it is as i think i have a solution.

Try clicking the small reset button on the back of your router, which will probably restore the router to factory settings.

any firewalls?

if you can't print can you still share files?

No. It cant find anything else on the network (well, that's the only other thing).

No success.

norton is gay
(my opinion)
this is my solution to any problem involving a network that is playing up

get your self a copy of netbrute do a scan of your interal ip range and tell us how you go
a screen shot of the results would be nice

what are your subnet settings?
and have you tried pinging one from the other?
cos if it doesn't show up in netbrute they're not connected even if network magic thinks they are
(could be a restrictive firewall but i haven't found any that don't ask you about netbios

-------------------------------------
subnet should look like 255.255.0.0
