paul, thanks for replying.
Yes, Yes, Yes and I don't know.
More info for you:
I have two desktops (DT1, DT2) and a wireless laptop (LT1). I just acquire another laptop (LT2) which is the computer with the problem.
DT1, DT2, and LT1 are all connected to the same Netgear router and connects to the internet via DSL modem.
DT1, DT2, and LT1 are all on the same workgroup and can share files with ease.
Enter LT2.
From the My Network Place folder on LT2, I can see DT1 and DT2's shared folders but cannot access them. I cannot see LT2 at all.
I can connect to the internet via the wireless connection on LT2 and it says the name of the network and shows the IP address. It matches the rest of the computers.
When I click on "View Workgroup Computers" I get an error message denying me access.
If I try to run: \\<name_of_computer> where name_of_computer is a known computer on my network, I get an error. The other computers (DT1, DT2, and LT1 can see each other on the "View Workgroup Computers" but do not see LT2.
Very strange.
Ideas?
Thanks, again.
Andrew
