Here is an interesting problem. I'm running XP Pro and for whatever reason,
I cannot see my own machine in My Network Places. The computer browser
service is running, but I have the Windows firewall disabled (no need for
it). For some reason I feel that a service is shut off, but I am not sure
which one it is. Then again, I could be wrong. My PC is in my own home
workgroup. It is on a wireless network. The workgroup and the SSID for all
PCs are the same. Other PCs cannot connect to this machine. I am dual
booting Vista Business on the machine that I cannot see in My Network
Places. I don't know if this would cause a problem.
Also, when I log into XP, I get a message that my personal settings are
loading. Is this normal? The PC never did this before.
If anyone can help, let me know.
