I've tried with a disabled MacAfee on both computers, but that didn't help. I looked at my router settings and port forwarding is enabled. On the netbook Firefox doen't even give the opportunity to login to the web server (I tried MS IE, but no luck there either). Has anyone an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,

"On the same Network" has different meanings to different people
A wired SOHO network is probably the
Same logical layer network.
Wireless-Wired mix, can add a whole different set of variations
depending on many topology factors.
Access points tend to simply extend the Wired Network.
Wireless routers
can (more: depends on...) split the network into 2 logical networks (
If a wired computer has the same IP (eg 192.168.0.2) as a wireless device (without errors), you have a split network.)
Can you access shared folders over the SAME connection?
Is this a wired-only, wireless-Only, Mix of wired-wireless network?
