I have a new Dell netbook running Win7 Starter Edition. I configured
both wired and wireless networking and was able to see the shared
drives on other PCs on my home network until today. Today I turned the
netbook on and I do not see any computer except the netbook itself when
I expand the Network node in Windows Explorer.

Selecting the Network node and clicking he Refresh button does not
help. Searching for other computers by name or IP address does not
work. When I type a computer name or IP in the Search box and press
Enter nothing happens. I can ping the other computers on the network
from the netbook.

I am moving from XP to Win7 so Win7 is new to me. Any suggestions as to
why I can no long see the other computers on the network in Explorer?

Thanks.
