    Can't access computer on home network through ip address

    I am using a home network with Windows Vista and have connected all computers through a linksys router. I am able to use the file sharing and folder access and it is working fine, but I am not able to access the computer within the network via their ip address. I have also enabled the telnet server and client on all the pcs but I cannot open a telnet session using the ip address. Is there something wrong am doing or what?

    Did you check whether you were able to ping each other by IP? By default you will be able to ping if you have enabled file sharing already in your computer.

    Thanks for the reply, that really helped me to some extent. The program that I am using needed a specific port and this was not opening on the host and remote computer. I therefore then added the port in the windows firewall and now it is working fine for me.
