When I boot my Windows ME laptop on my home network, the laptop cannot see the other two computers. The other two computers see each other and the laptop.
The network consists of:
One desktop running Windows 98SE
One desktop running Windows XP
One Netgear DS104 hub
One (miscreant) laptop running Windows ME
I am running ICS on the XP machine. The laptop can access the internet through the XP machine even though when I double click on "Entire Network" in "My Network Places" on the laptop I get an error message that says "Unable to Browse the Network".
If I click "Start" -> "Log Off..." on the laptop, I get a Windows pop up that asks "Are you sure you want to log off?". If I select "Yes", my desktop reloads and then I can see the other two computers on the network and everything works fine.
All computers are using the same group name "MSHOME" and have different computer names. None of the computers has any IP address assigned nor are there any gateways assigned. All have DNS disabled.
I am either asking a very stupid question or I am not communicating properly. I have asked this question before and gotten no (0) replies. Will someone please give me a hint??
