I've managed to set up my MacBook Pro to access the internet via a Belkin G+ wireless router. What I can't manage is to connect it to a local Workgroup which contains a PC running XP SP3. (The PC has a shared printer attached.) The PC is also wireless.
I can't see the PC from the Mac and, while I can sometimes see the Mac in the workgroup, I'm told that I can't access it.
However, when I connect the Mac to the router via ethernet, I can see the PC files and from the PC I can see the Mac files.
I've tried disabling the Windows and router firewalls (disconnected from the internet) but I still can't see the PC from the Mac and vice versa via wi-fi.
What can be the problem? I've followed the advice from several forums, but nothing works.
Please help!!
