I have a similar problem as "Mikey." Just bought a laptop
for my wife. Installed is WinXP Home and a 802.11g built
in. Also bought a Belkin router with a wireless
connection so that I could share an internet connection
with my wife's computer. My computer runs WinXP Pro. Both
computers access the internet just fine, but I can't see
my wife's computer nor my comp on her's using my network
places. Both computers have the same workgroup name but
cannot see each other. IP Subnet mask on both computers
and router are the same. Tried several of the suggestions
from the knowledge base and can't make it work. Any
suggestions would be welcome
 
Check that your Firewall isn't enable. (In the Network Connections Folder,
see if there is a little Padlock on the Network Card).
 
Thank you for the suggestion. Found the problem with
Norton Internet Security. Had to enable the home network
settings.
