My network has been functioning almost flawlessly for over a year now and
all of a sudden I can't share printers or files anymore.



The network consists of a DSL modem feeding into a Linksys
WRT54GS router. My desktop is connected directly to the router. I have two
laptops that connect wirelessly. I have three printers (1 parallel, 2 USB)
on the desktop and one printer on each of the laptops (both USB). (Why so
many printers????, we travel a lot in a motorhome and have to have printing
capability). Operating system is XP.



As I say the whole network has been working great until last week. Internet
access is still functioning but printer and file sharing has stopped on me.
I have tried with and without the virus/firewall software running. I have
rechecked file and print sharing. When I check the printers in Control
Panel the network printer's icons first state "opening" and then "can not
connect". I have of coarse rebooted all computers and the router. I have
checked the settings on the router. No settings have changed. Obviously
something has changed because I have no printer or file sharing.



Sure could use some help here. I can add any pertinent info to help if
needed. Thanks in advance for ANY help.
