I am on a laptop in a small office network. All of the computers can access the internet, and all of the desktops can access each others files. I can't see the desktops and they can't see me. The desktops workgroup is set to "Office" and my laptop is set to "Home". This shouldn't matter though, because everything worked fine before we moved office locations, and now I can't network the desktops. I can, however, ping the desktop ip addresses and map a drive with the ip, but I don't always know the ip of the computer I need. I also cannot connect to a printer by using the ip. I cannot map a drive by just using the computer name, I have to use the ip address. All of the desktops are running windows xp home sp1 just like me. Please help.

First of all, this forum is getting out of hand with off-topics...... Today the last 3 posts should not have been in XP, they should have been in other forums. This belongs in networking. Try setting your workgroup the the SAME values and you'll see your machines again. Yes.....contrary to your remarks it DOES matter. J. j e r u v y a t y a h o o d o t c o m
