I have a Windows XP desktop connected by cable to a wireless router which is
connected to the internet. In addition I have a notebook running ME with a
wireless card. Both get the internet properly. I set up Homenetwork using
the XP Wizard on the desktop and then using a diskette with the XP Wizard
set up the notebook. The desktop shows both computers in the network
workgroup existing. The notebook shows no network computers although I used
the XP setup on it. Clicking on properties on the desktop networkgroup for
the notebook states "The server (notebookname) could not be found on the
network." I have reinstalled several times and worked through all the
Windows Troubleshooters. What is the problem? What can I do?
 
Same problem - Windows XP tablet connecting to desktop
with Windows XP pro, either by cable or wireless; no
workgroup computers show on tablet, but desktop can browse
all; only way I can connect is by typing the desktop IP
address in "Run" box. Sure would like to know what the
problem is.

Did not have this problem prior to dropping tablet 11/18,
having to replace hard drive, tablet back in service
12/1. I notice some other users seemed to be reporting
similar problems around time of update the week of 11/18.
