Default I can't see a workgroup from Vista

Hi,
I have a Vista laptop set to my work workgroup , when I'm at home I can't
see the storage device ( maxtor network disk ) or the other pc , only the
printer ( HP dekjet ) , all these pc and device are in my Home workgroup
and I can see all of them from the Vista Pc I have at home.
Any one have a suggestion, before with the laptop with XP all was working
fine
Thanks,
Paolol

Paolol,

Can you slow down please, and try and describe the work and home networks with a
bit more detail, so we can figure out where to start?

And consider how to troubleshoot the problem, or how we might suggest how you
troubleshoot it.

OK, if the only issue is workgroup name, and simply changing that is what you
want to avoid, look in Entire Network - Microsoft Windows Network, and see if
the other workgroup isn't visible.
