| | Vista can't see workgroup on wireless network I am trying to network a Vista Home Premium laptop to a wireless network (peer to peer) that has 2 XP Pro machines on it The Vista machine can access the Internet, but not the XP machines. The laptop says that it has connected to the network, but it doesn't see the workgroup. Linksys wireless router - the SSID has the same name as the workgroup. Could this be the problem? Dan |
