Bought new Linksys WAG300N dsl/wireless router, Laptop (XPHomeSP2),
Son PC (XPHomeSP2) and MCE 2005 (Rollup2 aka SP2).

PCs all wirelessed, Laptop on internal Wireless, MCE on Linksys WUSB54AG,
Son PC on Linksys WUSB54G.  Wireless all working with WPA-PSK and all
machines talk to internet fine through router.

Have Sharing on and shares on all machines. Tried turning off both Windows
and Zonealarm turned off just to make sure not something wierd.  Zonealarm
has same trusted zones always had of 192.168.1.1->192.168.1.7.

Tried a few things on NodeType issue from http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com but
to no avail. Also used windws wizard and didnt resolve either.

Any help would be much appreciated as driving me nuts. 

Thanks

Bob,

Thanks for the reply. 

Error recieved is try NET VIEW 192.168.1.2 is:

   System error 53 has occurred.

   The network path was not found.

This is the IP of the DRURY-MCE machine, but is I do the same command on the
actual DRURY-MCE I get the list of shares as expected.

It all seems to be down to the machines not being able to see each other
onthe workgroup, but I cant understand why. :(

Any more ideas?

Thanks

Wayne
