Laptop not connecting to workgroupI posted this problem earlier, but the thread seems to have run dry. My
laptop, which was a member of my workgroup at home (3 pcs, 2 laptops) via WiFi went on vacation with me. At a friend's house, it was able to use his wireless internet connection, but not to join his workgroup. We wasted a vacation day trying everything we could think of with the Network Setup Wizard, etc. When I got home I found I could not connect at home either. With a Cat 5 cable, yes; with WiFi no. At the suggestion of a member of this board, I checked a number of parameters including node type, etc. In the end, I found that I still can't get on, I can't seem to change the node type on that machine from unknown to hybrid or broadcast, everything else looks good...and I'm stumped! I'd really appreciate a fresh set of things to try... ......P On Tue, 22 Aug 2006 21:12:02 -0700, Paul Heymont <p***@heymoux.net.(donotspam)>

You have a Windows Networking problem, so "browstat status", "net config server", and "net config workstation", will be useful, besides "ipconfig /all". And looking at the diagnostics for the problem computer, and for 2 working computers, generally provides the best chance of getting useful results. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!): <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#AskingForHelp -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
