can see other computers
in [Network and Web]

From: SecureLend on 29 Dec 2009 22:00 i checked all that. On my wired computer....it shows itself and the other 2 wireless computers in the workgroup. But when i go to the 2 wireless computers it shows the workgroup but there are no computers in it and says "Workgroup is not accessible.....Network path could not be found" when i click on the workgroup icon. I use to be able to see all 3 of my computers on the workgroup from any computer and now 2 dont show anything in the group any more. What knocked them out? I am not sure when it started, but i did change routers in the last 2 months. Everything else works fine i can connect to the internet and print to a network printer from all 3 computers still.

From: Jack [MVP-Networking] on 30 Dec 2009 21:30 Hi If I was sitting in front of your computer I might (or might Not) know what went wrong. At this point your best bet, is to reconfigure them correctly. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).

From: SecureLend on 31 Dec 2009 11:47 this morning i opened up the 2nd computer and it sees itself and the other computers all of the sudden. so i went back to check the first computer and now that one cant see anything again. For some reason only one computer at a time can see the other computers in the workgroup. Ever heard of this before?
