...two days ago!
Hi, Guys/Gals - I'm a complete networking illiterate, so please bear with me.
At the beginning of the year I moved into a flat with three other Windows laptops and we could all play LAN games (Specifically Warcraft III) together and I could access their music via iTunes etc.
Randomly - and I mean randomly because I haven't touched any settings - they were unable to see my hosted games and I wasn't able to even see their computers. It just wasn't working. But, I am still able to connect to the wireless internet (the one we all share).
I believe this to be something wrong with my Macbook because I was up at my University two days ago, and the wireless network that they offer (and I regularly use) kept on "failing" when I tried to connect to it.
I am literally stumped, guys, and any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't see how I can't connect with them if I'm still able to connect with our shared internet. Also, is the failure of connection with the University wireless network related?
I did a search and couldn't find a thread specific to my problem. However, I know how frustrating it is to have newbies repeatedly create new threads that are all ready in existence. So, if this comes to be, could someone link me to the thread. If not, PLEASE HELP!
Thanks all around,
Magnus
