I have a home network that consists off an XP Desktop, a Vista Desktop, a XP
Notebook and a Vista Tabletpc. They could all see and access each other with
no problem. The Tabletpc and Notebook both are connected by wireless while
the desktops are connected by Cat5.



This morning I went to use the Tabletpc and it cannot see either of the
other computers and they cannot see the Tabletpc., regarless whether I am
connected by wireless or Cat5. However, they can see and access each other
fine. The other three computers can see and access each other fine.

I have tried everything I can think of to get the tabletpc to recongnize
the other computers an vise-versa to no avail.

The last time I used the tabletpc on my home network was about 8 days ago
and it was working fine. That night I was admitted to the hospital for a
week. While there I connected to the hospital's wifi. Not sure if this
changed something or not but other than that I have not downloaded any
software, updates, etc.

I might add that I can access the internet fine through the tabletpc.

Any ideas what may be causing this?

Michael,

Logs from "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and "net
config workstation", from each computer, may provide essential clues that lead
to identification of the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and
follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):
