Re: How do I get the Westell 327w to recognize my PC?
Talk about blind leading the blind... 
I believe the OP's reference to "my network" is the little icon on his Windows XP desktop and not the 327W's browser interface. The XP firewall is doing exactly what it's meant to do... Enabling the 327W's built-in firewall to LOW or MEDIUM and disabling the XP firewall should be OK for most home network applications unless the OP's situation is unique. |

Long Beach, CA | I'd rather not use the 327w's firewall, I already have XP's firewall configured to allow all the exceptions and ports that I need.
This problem is not really affecting anything I do online, it's more of an annoyance I guess. |

| I am also on Verizon with two computers connected to a 327W. I have the same condition in which my Windows 98SE machine is listed as offline on the VersaLink if the ZoneAlarm firewall is running on the Windows machine. The other computer is running NetBSD and always shows online on the Westell.
Can you ping between your two computers? Can you ping from each computer to the VersaLink?

| solar2190, you are a wonderful human being. Thanks to your comment about your XP's firewall I did a little more investigation of the ZoneAlarm firewall settings on my Windows computer. I put the Westell VersaLink (IP address 192.168.1.1) and my NetBSD computer (IP address 192.168.1.46) into the ZoneAlarm Trusted Zone. Voila! I can now ping both ways.
