Can't see wired pcs from wireless laptop

I have 2 wired desktop pcs. One of the ports on the wired router at the
desktops "we'll call it Router A) goes to a port on the wall in another room.
The router for our FIOS tv (Router B) is plugged into that wall port. I have
a wireless router plugged it into an open port on Router B. My desktops can
access all files and folders between each other via NETBEUI (yes, NETBUI). I
installed NETBUI on my laptop, which is Vista Home Premium. All are in the
same workgroup, but I cannot see anything on the desktops from the laptop and
vice versa. At one point, I was able to connect to the desktop printer, but
haven't ever been able to do it again. How can my laptop see the 2 desktops
and the printer?

Thanks in advanced.

Are they in the same subnet? Posting the result of ipconfig /all may help.

RC,

I'm sorry you're experiencing trouble. Are you still having this issue? If
the laptop is Vista, and you can't see the other machines on the Network Map
(and they are running OS's older than Vista), then it may be that you need to
install the LLTD Responder on the older machines. You can find that at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en.

Yes, I saw that before and installed it some time ago. And yes, I'm still
having the issue.

Thank you for replying!
