I guess there must be something up with one of the
computers becuase even though we Are connected to through
the router and i've run the wizard on both computers
putting the same workgroup name I still can't get them to
see each other in the workgroup.Please do you have any
sugguestions? I've run the wizard a half dozen times and
no matter what I do it won't work. It is probably
something simple, but i can't figure it out. -_-

thanx, the novice
