Living in London has had its good times and some "scratching-my-head" times. Well, its not about the "place" really, is it. But I could see the difference in how close you are to the advent of new technologies coming in everyday, making life more.. hmm let's say "Interesting" (Complicated, really!)
Over to the topic - I've been brooding over a week on an issue (with a silly fix, obviously). The problem was, all of a sudden, I could not access my Wifi phone from my PC and vice-versa. Same problem accessing my Wireless printer as well. I was convinced that the problem was the firewall configuration on my Ubuntu laptop, tried a few things and was giving up. Didn't find anything useful on the Router as well*. Note that, in all the while, I had no problems accessing the Internet.
Brainstorm - Did some digging up on SKY broadband forums and tried a complete router-reset. Noticed that nifty little configuration called "Wireless Isolation" which was left unchecked after the reset. I remembered that I had left it checked, based on the help-instructions that say -
"If Enabled, the router will be hidden from other wireless devices. For normal situations, this setting should be left at the default value of Disabled."
What it does not say is the corollary - ie.. you will not be able to access other LAN devices!
So, this setting stays unchecked here on - silly!
