Hi there.
I have two computers in the same wireless network both running Win7 64bit ultimate. They are in the same network and I can share files between the two and both have internet connection.

The computer connected to the router can't access the computer with the USB wireless dongle (the target machine). The target machine CAN access the host computer (the one with the wireless router).
Both have same settings in the remote desktop connection, firewall, etc,.

The only thing I figured out was that when I try to use remote from the host on the target machine, it logs off and therefore looses connection because when I log back on on the target machine, I see it refreshes the wireless connection..

Please can someone help me with this?

It sounds like you are experiencing connectivity issues between two Windows 7 machines on the same wireless network. Since the target machine can access the host computer but not vice versa, we may need to troubleshoot a few things to resolve this problem. Here are some steps you can try to address the issue: 1. Network Discovery and File Sharing: - Ensure that both computers have network discovery and file sharing enabled. - Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings. - Make sure that network discovery and file sharing are turned on. 2. Firewall Settings: - Check the firewall settings on both machines to allow file sharing and remote desktop connections through the firewall. - You...

Network Discovery and File Sharing: - Ensure that both computers have network discovery and file sharing enabled. - Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change advanced sharing settings. - Make sure that network discovery and file sharing are turned on. 2. Firewall Settings: - Check the firewall settings on both machines to allow file sharing and remote desktop connections through the firewall. - You may need to create exceptions in the firewall settings for these services. 3. Network Location: - Confirm that both computers are on the same network location (Home, Work, or Public). Private network location is ideal for file sharing. 4. User Account Permission: - Ensure that you have appropriate permissions set up on both machines to access shared files. - You may need to check the sharing settings for the folders you are trying to access. 5. Static IP Address: - Assigning static IP addresses to both computers can sometimes resolve network connectivity issues. - Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings > Right-click on the wireless adapter > Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties. - Set up static IP addresses on the same subnet for both machines. 6. Network Troubleshooter: - Windows has a built-in network troubleshooter that can help diagnose and resolve common network issues. You can run it on both machines to see if it identifies any problems. 7. Restart Router: - Sometimes, simply restarting your router can resolve network connection problems. 8. Check Event Viewer: - Check the Event Viewer on both machines for any network-related errors or warnings that might provide clues about the issue. By going through these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and hopefully resolve the connectivity issue between your Windows 7 machines on the same wireless network. If you encounter any specific error messages or issues during these steps, let me know so we can further assist you.
