Seeing workgroup computers

[Maincat]

Hi all,

Four computers, all XP Pro, all in the same workgroup.

When my laptop is connected to the network by cable, no problems. But when
it is connected by wireless, it will not see the workgroup, but I can still
connect to the other computers.

Router is Linksys WRT54GS Version 4.

Any ideas why the wireless connection won't see the workgroup?

Thanks.

Is NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled on that connection?

NetBIOS over TCP/IP is set to default on all network connections. Playing
with that setting on the wireless connecton does affect things, for the
worse.

Thanks for the reply,

But you can ping them by name, right? What happens if you reboot all the
computers, when you've set up your laptop to work wirelessly?
