I have a desktop and a laptop (running XP & XP Pro respectively) That are
connected via a Linksys ethernet switch. Using the desktop and the Network
Setup Wizard I created a connection (Workgroup?) between the computers that I
called Home Network whick worked just fine. For some reason (long story) I
used the Network Setup Wizard again to setup another Workgroup called Mshome
(the default) and that has caused serious problems. I used the same name in
both for the desktop computer and I am unable to access My Network Places
from the desktop computer. When I click on My Network Places in Windows
Explorer it searches without resolution. The laptop sees both Workgroups ok
and they appear on the same file level under Microsoft Windows Network. On
the desktop both Workgroups appear but only the Mshome Workgroup has a
computer name under it. When the Home is clicked the following appears: "The
network path was not found:. I would like to start all over again and have
one workgroup but when I right click on the Mshome icon the menu does not
present that option.
Please advise.
thanks
