Comment:
I have a laptop and a desktop both running windows XP. They both have NetBEUI installed and both are plugged into the same hub. The desktop will see all the workgroups, but the laptop will only see some of the workgroups. I have given it time to populate, but still not seeing alot of the workgroups. It seems to only be a problem with NetBEUI on WinXP. Any thoughts?
