Netgear WGR614 v6 + Inspiron 1300 problem

Question

I have an Inspiron 1300 running XP Home with the Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card. I have a Netgear WGR614 v6 router that I am connecting to. I can connect to the router fine, but cannot get to any of the other computers attached to the router. This is an internal network with no internet access. All systems have static IP addresses. I can connect with another desktop system and have no problem accessing other computers. I have twisted every setting I can think of in router and in wireless card config on laptop with no success. Windows Firewall is disabled, McAfee Security which came on system is disabled and closed. I really need to get this working! Any help appreciated!

Sorry for incomplete question. Is it possible this is a hardware compatability issue?

Well certainly not enough and kind of vague description but I would go with Windows networking issue? Are all the system set for the workgroup? Are the other system able to connect to the router? I think I read that not sure, if they can can you ping any of them, can any of them ping you? if they can it's a windows workgroup/domain issue

Dont rely on just turning off mcAfee personal firewall. Go to the McAfee personal firewall and on the summary tab click on trusted IPAddress and tried to enter the range off IP address on the whole network. for example if your IP is ranging from 192.168.1.1 to 192.1681.10. so this range must be entered on the trusted IP address or you have to totally uninstall mcAfee security program
