I have a 2 desktops and a laptop together on a home network (MSHOME).
Recently all of a sudden I found that my desktop either cannot get to the
network cannot access the other machine. Not sure what happened or how to
repair.

Selecting the workgroup, it says I don't have permission.

Don't know where to go from here. I have tried changing network cards and
drivers, made sure all windows is up to date.

Please help

thanks

Posting the result of ipconfig /all here may help.

Hi ,

Changing workgroups to workgroup and setting it up as a home network, seems
to have fixed the problem.
