I am running Windows XP Pro on my Dell laptop. When using the wireless connection at home I can access resources (printers folders etc..) from my laptop. At our office we are using a peer to peer network like at my house but I cant see any of the other computers or printers on the network but I can access the internet with no problems. I am using the same workgroup name at both locations. However at our office we have installed a new server with 2003 small business with in the past few months. We are also using a linksys router to act as the DHCP server. I am not sure if something needs to change in the new server or if we may have some conflict here.

Thanks,

Aaron

Aaron,

You have a browser conflict. First, read about the browser.

Take a look at "browstat status", on the laptop, both when at home and at work.
Compare with another computer at work. Read this article, and linked articles,
and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):

You may have a workgroup at your office. But if you are running Small Business Server 2003, you also have a domain:
