hi,

i am running a small office with a few laptops and a desktop. They are all
installed with Window Vista Business. I have also configured the same
workgroup name for all the computers. The strange thing is that for

Computer A (a wireless laptop), the network connection is

Name of Computer A ---> Titanic -----> Internet

whereas for Computer B (which is a desktop), the network connection is

Name of Computer B ---> Multiple networks ----> Internet

Why is it showing Multiple networks and not Titanic? Kindly advise.

Titanic is the workgroup name.

Thank you.

If I look at 'Network and Sharing Centre' I see
Computer name ---> Network name ---> Internet
and if I select the full map I see
Computer name(s) ---> device ---> Internet.
The workgroup name does not appear.

Does 'Computer B' have other connections ?
