Hi all,
Let's start off with "I'm not an IT or a network guy".
That said, please see below.
Home office Setup:
Cable Modem into a Wireless Access Point/Rounter.
Access Point has CAT5 to server.
Server runs WinXP Professional.
2 laptops, with PCI wireless cards in cardbus slot.
Laptop 1 (Sony) Win98SE
Laptop 2 (Compaq) WinXP Professional
I've set us a WorkGroup called "Home".
The network was working great for a long time, but the
other day, the Compaq didn't print (Printer hooked up to
the server). Hmmmm....so I checked the Workgroup on the
Compaq. I was expecting to see all 3 computers, but only
saw the the Compaq (bad). Hmmmm...I checked the other
computers (Server & Sony), and in their Workgroup, I saw
all 3 computers (good).
Then I pinged all computer's IP and they all Pinged with
success.
Bottom line, my network sees the Compaq, but the Compaq
doesn't see the "Home" workgroup.
Can somebody lend a little assistance?????
Thanks in advance!
