I just purchased a new laptop with Vista home edition. I connected to my
network no problem and have access to the internet. But I can not find any
other of the devices on the network.
When I go into Network I can see the router name.
I have a workgroup name on the network. But when I click on workgroup, it
shows me a selection called workgroup but there is no place to enter the
workgroup name.
The other devices on the network all have shared writes and all other
devices can see them.
Any ideas what the problem is?

Click to expand...

Right-Click "Computer" and choose Properties. Scroll down towards the
bottom and you will see "computer name, domain, and workgroup settings".
Over on the right, click "Change Settings". this is where you
change workgroups.
