Thanks Chuck
I'll try that but currently still at work. Although I might mention even
when other pc's not on I shouldn't have any browser conflict do you think.
But i still can't see my own pc in workgroups, just get "mshome is
inaccessible, but still my shared folder viewable through network.Do you
think 1 of the lastest windows update has changed a setting in regard to
this. I have logon as guest enabled but i have netbios off, but I shouldn't
need that should I ? I am using static IPs and my internet connection is fine
on every PC, also all other pc's have same problem, can't access mshome but
all shared folders available to use.
regards
Gary
