Home networking file/printer sharing problems

Try this:
- Check if the firewall on your laptop is enabled (could
be caused by the upgrade)
- Check for the same on your home machine.
- try to ping the home machine from the laptop and vice
versa.
Let us know what you find.

I have a strang problem that is probably very easy to
solve. At home I have a computer with Windows XP wired to
a LinkSys broadband (wireless) router. I also have a
laptop from my office with wireless access that I oftern
work with at home.

The wireless connection works fine. In the past I have
been able to run the "Set up a home or small office
network" wizard and my shares and connected printer would
show up on my laptop. I didn't have to make any changes
on my laptop can kept the office DOMAIN and log in
process set up on it alone. Now, all of a sudden (with
recent Windows upgrades?) I cannot locate my home
computer, shares or printer from my laptop.

Shouldn't I be able to see the my home computer from my
laptop? My laptop has a DOMAIN name from my office, my
home computer has a workgroup name set up, they are not
the same. THIS WORKED BEFORE? I have been trying to fix
this for days now...
