connecting to a network
We have a windows vista rc2 computer attempting to connect to a windows xp
home network. The vista computer connets to the internet okay through the router but none of the computers on the network can see the vista computer and the vista computer cannot see the other computers. The home network is named mshome. The vista can't see that workgroup name. The vista computer is wireless. The other computers are wired. Thanks, Peter
