CAN'T CONNECT TO LOCAL NETWORK
Hey guys I'm hoping I'm just overlooking something dumb here but I need some
help. I just upgraded to Vista Home Premium last night. I use my laptop at work ad I'm having some issues. I can't see my local network when I sign on. We have a wireless modem that is separate from the network that I can see and use to login to the internet. On XP I just went to "My Network Places" clicked add new place, selected local area network and punched in the address "\\Express\expressservices" it prompted me for a login and PW and I was all set! Now when I go to "Network" all I see is my PC and there's no option to add a new network place. Then I go to "Network and Sharing" and try to connect to a network all it shows me is wireless modems and not the actual network. Then I try to setup a new network and there's no option so see a local area network, just modems, and what not. It seems all I can do find new ways to connect to the internet, but no way to use the internet to connect to my network. Please help. |
