Wireless network
I have a desktop that is wired directly to a linksys router. I have 2
XP laptops. Using one, I can search computers and find the share on my desktop...using the other it can not find the desktop at all...any advice? Thanks |

Re: Wireless network
Make sure you are looking at MS Networks>entire network. Sometimes when you
install a network, it will set it to MS Home or such as the workgroup, other versions set the workgroup name to Workgroup. Unless you have the name the same, it's a little harder to find the other machine. -- A Professional Amateur...If anyone knew it all, none of would be here!

RE: Wireless network
I have exactly same issue, really annoying, two of the PC's work fine and see
each other, but the laptop finds nothing... all have same workgroup name, and all have Firewall turned off (the router does this). Interested to know if you find the answer!
