Hi,
I have three pcs on a lan, networked with a SMC wireless router. Sharing
folders and printers works fine. One problem is the two machines running
XPpro don't "show" themselves when you view workgroup computers. The XPHome
pc does.
If I go into explorer and put in the pcs name e.g. \\officelappy it is
accessed fine. This inidicates to me that this is not a basic IP, workgroup
or firewall config problem.
I suspect there is a reg setting stopping the machines identifying
themselves as the two in question were oriniginally work machines on a
company domain system. Most of the work specific setting have been reset to
default, but I suspect that
I have missed something here.
Thanks,
Artitus
