CISCO router allocate new IP addresses to macs?


hi all,
i'm having terrible trouble linksys router. i'm trying 2 windoze , mac laptop onto cisco linksys wrt120n wireless router.

have 2 main macs connected via ethernet router, , we're online.

problem 1: 2 main office macs don't talk each other!
mac leopard, her's snow leopard, , has virus barrier x6 on. not sure we've stuffed because need drag files & folders computer , then. both have file & printer & scanner sharing turned on.

problem 2: wireless laptop connection gaming.
begin? son , friends have laptops want go wireless gaming. security , protocols? should use dhcp though router seems have given 2 ethernet macs ip addresses? (the router xxx,xxx.x.1 hers xxx.100, mine x.101 — normal?)
 

linksys defaults handing out .100+ addresses. need wireless enable it, , turn on wpa/wpa2 , enter password. should work.

also, 2 macs talk each other, turn off firewalls, , see if helps, if not might vbx6. if turning off firewalls works, enable override in system preferences>security allows file sharing , remote desktop.

teg
