I was working on setting up a home network for some
friends of mine, and was having this weird difficulty on
the last machine. I simply ran the home networking
wizard, and that got the first two going just fine for
files sharing (the whole reason for this exercise). On
the last computer, I can run the wizard fine, and it says
it worked just hunky dory(sp?) but I can't see that
anything has happened. The workgroup is the same, and
they are all running into the safe router/hub. I can see
his computer on the other two machines, but when I try and
access it gives the can not find path error. On his
machine, I can not see ANY of the computers on the network
and his own shared volume isn't even recognized in his
network places... I tried removign and re-installing the
home networking or whatever plug in for his network card,
and re-running the wizard, but that didn't make any
difference. Anyone have any ideas?

P.S. Even though it may sound like it, I make no claim to
being a network specialist ; )
