I am currently using two desktops and a roaming laptop in the house, each one with a wireless connection to a single Linksys BEFW11S4v4 (B) Router. The laptop is using a WPC11v4 (PCMCIA), and the desktops are using a WMP11v4 and a NetGear WG311 respectively. All 3 computers are running MDK 2005 LE, and all 3 required ndiswrapper to get working. All 3 can connect to the internet simultaneously, but I cannot "see" the others on the LAN no matter what I try. With firewall disabled, still no luck. Is it because I'm using the "managed" mode instead of "AdHoc"? If I switch to AdHoc do I lose my multiple connectivity? I am absolutely a newbie, please any help would be awesome. Does anyone know of an FAQ that explains (in simple terms) a multiple workstation wireless network?

pls, I've already read:

-->these are great for getting started, but not too good for sharing resources between hosts.

If all the computers have access the Internet, then your network should be setup correctly. I fail to see that the wireless mode would have anything to do with it. Can the computers ping each other? If so, what method of file sharing are you trying to use? What do you mean by the word "see"? That could mean pinging each other, mounting the other computers file structure, ftp'ing to one of them, ssh'ing to one of them?

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
