i recently had my laptop reformatted, before this I was able to access
the small network I use using ethernet hub. Now I cannot find the
server (or other computers connected to it) I can access the net and
I have the microsoft publication service device host icon showing.
All settings are as they should be. I have taken my laptop into a
service company and they were able to find their network no problem,
but I don't get the same when I connect via ethernet. Other computers
on the network can connect. If anyone could help it would be much
appreciated
