I have two machines connected via a wireless network. Both use WinXP. The
remote pc can no longer connect to the base pc, although the network has
been working without any problems for a long time.
The symptom was a sudden disappearance of the base pc entries in "My Network
Places" on the remote laptop.
The base pc can still access the laptop (although I had to re-enter all the
shared items using their IP addresses), but, the laptop cannot access the
base. The laptop can see both machines listed in Workgroup.
Both machines connect to the internet with no problems.
I suspect some file damage may be the problem since the "Add Network Place
Wizard" on the laptop hangs when I attempt to add a network place.
Can anyone suggest something I might try, short of a reinstall of the
operating system? (I have, of course, reinstalled the wireless drivers
several times without any improvement.)
