Make sure all your computers are using the "Workgroup" and that all the workgroup names are the same.

Go to "My Computer" - right click and select "Properties". When the windows open select the "Computer Name" tab. Check the name for "Workgroup" - it is normally defaulted to "WORKGROUP". Make sure all you computers have the same name. Then, you can select which directories you want to share on your computer, right click in "Windows Explorer" and select "Share". It will ask you what name you want to use. "Select anything you want. On other computers, you should then bwe able to connect to that directory by using <computer name>/<directory name>.

this is just the basics - it can get very difficult if you need to interface between different versions of windows or if one of your computers is not in a workgroup. Good Luck.

That's two issues, can't connect to what? Make, Model of computer and the OS you are using. Staying connected may be many things, from interfererence, distance, ISP signal, Belkin settings, cabling, software settings...etc. Is your Belkin Securied with a Security password? Post more info.

Red light

Is your ISP connected to the Belkin? Try a Ethernet cable connected to the Belkin to verify that it is receiving a signal. Are the LED's blinking on the Belkin? Shut down the computer, unplug the Belkin wait 30 seconds or so, check ALL cables and connections , plug in the Belkin wait for selftest, reboot computer.

If you have a desktop you can share the cdrom drive over the network and access the cdrom drive from the notebook of the desktop. its a lot slower but it will work.

place both computers on the same workgroup
right click on desktop cd rom drive and click share drive
then on the notebook go to strat run type //"name of desktop computer"
if you dont know the name right click on my computer and should display computer name
