connecting to a network

[Guest]

We have a windows vista rc2 computer attempting to connect to a windows xp
home network. The vista computer connets to the internet okay through the
router but none of the computers on the network can see the vista computer
and the vista computer cannot see the other computers.

The home network is named mshome. The vista can't see that workgroup name.

The vista computer is wireless. The other computers are wired.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi,
Either change XP to workgroup;or change Vista to MSHOME.

Hello Peter, you might find this helpful. As Jeff mentioned, you can easily
change the workgroup name or connect to the computer by clicking Start ->
Run -> \\computer.
