Networking

[PJHAction]

I put a network together with 4 computers, using a name in the workgroup to see each other.

3 computers see each other just fine.

My problem child - 1 computer: I run through the wizard and it finishes, but Windows XP says the workgroup is not available when I click "View Workgroup computers". I could see this computer from another computer at one time. Problem is, this computer will not see itself or other computers on the network.

Often a firewall problem, see if these sites are useful?
